Acer TravelMate 2490 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
