Hello,

My father has an older dell laptop which started to get problems with his internet connection.

For some reason, the laptop rarely connects to the unsecured network at the camping where he lives at the moment. Most of the time it will take half an hour, or it simply won't connect at all.

 

So my question is: Can I replace the wifi adapter with an Intel® Centrino (N 2230 for example)?

I know I'll have to download the new drivers, but could there be any hardware conflicts?

 

Some specs:

• Model: Dell Inspiron 15 N5050
• CPU: Intel® Core i3-2350m
• RAM: 4GB DDR3
• HDD: 500GB
• Wifi: Dell 1701
