Dell Precision M4800 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Dell laptop.
Some clues of a poorly performing onboard WiFi
- The wireless signal disconnects itself during the day
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
