Dell Precision M6600 Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Dell laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router and modem. 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. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Simple indications of a failing onboard WiFi
- The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The WiFi goes in and out all the time
- Your WiFi on your laptop does not connect at all
