You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem.
Main clues the WiFi adapter is not going to last much longer
- The wireless signal drops multiple times during the day
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
