Dell Studio 1450 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your router. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Dell Studio 1450. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Indications of a defective onboard WiFi
- The laptop wireless driver gives errors when installing
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The wireless signal has trouble connecting during the day
