Acer Aspire E5-511G Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Acer laptop. 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 install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your home router.
Major indications the wireless card will eventually need to be replaced
- Your WiFi on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi disconnects and reconnects throughout the day
