Acer Aspire 5542 Wifi
It is much simpler to buy a new wireless 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, uses an adapter in order to talk to your router and modem. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Acer laptop.
Major signs the WiFi adapter will die soon
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi signal drops for no reason every day
- Your WiFi in your Acer laptop will not connect to your router anymore
