Acer Aspire 5738ZG Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Acer laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
