Acer Aspire A517-51G Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
How do you know if your onboard WiFi is about to stop working?
- The WiFi goes out randomly all the time
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your WiFi in your Acer laptop does not connect at all
