Dell Studio 1457 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new wireless 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 Studio 1457. Most new Wifi 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem.
Simple indications of a faulty onboard WiFi
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The wireless signal goes in and out throughout the day
