Dell XPS 8500 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your router. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Dell XPS 8500. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
General warnings of an ineffective onboard WiFi
- The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The wireless signal drops multiple times all the time
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
