Dell OptiPlex 7020 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Dell OptiPlex 7020. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Clues to watch for to know your internal WiFi will die soon
- The WiFi goes in and out during the day
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter on your desktop does not connect at all
