Acer Aspire X5300 Wifi
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 desktop. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router. Most USB 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 system will install the drivers automatically.
Chief elements of an inadequate WiFi adapter
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly all the time
