Review on Dell OptiPlex 3040 Small Form Factor PC: Intel Quad Core i5 6500, 16GB DDR3L, 1TB, WiFi, BT 4.0, Windows 10 Pro 64 - Multilingual Support (English, Spanish, French) - Renewed by Calvin Hodges

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Be careful - Wi-Fi does NOT work on a 5GHz network and will drop out after a day. No replacement.

The computer works so I give 2 stars. My problem is that the WiFi adapter stopped working after 1 day so I contacted the seller. They told me it's because their WiFi adapter is a single band adapter and doesn't work with my 5GHz home WiFi network. Your answer didn't explain why it worked fine during the day and wouldn't even connect to my 2.4Ghz home network. At this point I realized that the seller was trying to tell me that the WiFi adapter was just a piece of junk and that I should just buy a better one, so I ended up with the seller. The USB wifi adapter is not expensive at all but I really hope they include this information in the item descriptions so I don't buy this computer just because it has wifi or I will just buy a better wifi adapter if I buy a computer. If you're looking to buy this computer, just keep in mind that the WiFi adapter is NOT Dell, it's a piece of junk. Incidentally, Bluetooth 4.0 is also available on the USB adapter.
