Dell Studio 1558 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Dell laptop.
