Dell XPS 1710 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest.
Key clues of a faulty WiFi adapter
- Your WiFi signal disconnects and reconnects every day
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
