Dell Vostro A860 Wifi
Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your wireless router or modem.
How do you know if your onboard WiFi is dying?
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi in your Dell laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- Your wireless internet connection goes out randomly throughout the day
