Acer Aspire A517-51GP Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop.
Clues to watch for to know the WiFi adapter is going out
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi adapter in your Acer laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- Your WiFi signal has trouble connecting every day
