Acer Aspire 5740D Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Acer laptop. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, 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 wireless router or modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
