Acer Extensa 5210 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
What red flags are there that my WiFi adapter really needs to be replaced?
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly every day
- The WiFi adapter in your Acer laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
