Acer Aspire 5252 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. 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. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Acer laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem.
Key clues of a failing WiFi adapter
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless signal drops for no reason every day
