Acer Aspire 5050 Wifi
Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Acer Aspire 5050. A lot of newer wireless 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. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, 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 communicate with your router.
What warnings are present when my onboard WiFi really needs to be replaced?
- Your WiFi in your Acer laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your wireless internet connection has trouble connecting during the day
