Acer Aspire 5242 Wifi
Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home router. 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 operating system will take care of the rest.
Main clues your wireless internet adapter is going to die
- The WiFi adapter in your Acer laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your wireless internet connection drops for no reason all the time
