Acer Aspire 5020 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the current operating system on your laptop. It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router.
