Acer Aspire 1670 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your home router. You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my WiFi adapter is on its last leg?
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi disconnects and reconnects during the day
