If the Wi-Fi connection to your computer doesn’t hold, you may be experiencing a malfunction of your Wi-Fi module. This guide will show you how to remove the Wi-Fi module for the Dell Inspiron 15R 5537.
The Wi-Fi module is located underneath the keyboard and is connected by two antenna cables. A malfunctioning Wi-Fi module can result in connection issues to the wireless network. This issue doesn’t completely disable your laptop, however, it does cause an inconvenience. A quick fix can be to use ethernet to connect to Wi-Fi or purchase an external Wi-Fi adapter.
It is important to make sure that the antenna cables are properly connected to your Wi-Fi module and that the wires aren’t frayed.
Before beginning this guide, make sure your laptop is powered off and disconnected from any external power source.
