Acer TravelMate 4000 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your wireless router or modem. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically.
Subtle cues to watch for in a bad WiFi adapter
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi goes out randomly over and over again
- Your WiFi on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
