Acer Aspire 5040 Wifi
You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available 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 what OS you are running on your Acer laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your router and modem.
Some warnings the wireless card will not last the year
- Your WiFi in your Acer laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your WiFi signal drops for no reason all the time
