Dell Latitude E5540 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Dell Latitude E5540. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my onboard WiFi has to be replaced?
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
- The wireless signal drops for no reason during the day
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell laptop does not connect at all
