Dell XPS M140 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your laptop.
