Dell XPS 15 L501X Wifi
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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home router. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Dell XPS 15 L501X.
Major signs the WiFi adapter has very little life left
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
