Acer TravelMate 4280 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and 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. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Acer laptop.
General indicators that your wireless internet adapter should need replacing
- The WiFi goes out randomly over and over again
- The wireless adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
