Acer Aspire 5742G Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Acer Aspire 5742G.
Do you know if your onboard WiFi is about to go out?
- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your wireless internet connection drops for no reason over and over again
