Hello,
I have a Dell vostro 1014 lappy. The wifi is not working for a few days even after updating the Wifi drivers.
Can I use any device like a USB Wifi connector: I want to plug it in the USB of my lappy and receive the Wifi signals for browsing internet.
Please mention me a good brand and its cost.
Many thanks.

If your wifi card is damaged, why not get it replaced?

Get a wireless usb adapter. Something like this should be fine TP-LINK 150 Mbps TL-WN721N Wireless N - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com
