Acer TravelMate 5100 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Acer laptop. 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 system will install the drivers automatically.
How do you know when your WiFi adapter is on its last leg?
- The wireless adapter in your Acer laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- Your wireless internet connection goes in and out throughout the day
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed

Always buy computer products from a known seller when buying via the internet. Always make sure to note the part number so that you correctly order the right WiFi. The Acer TravelMate 5100 will thank you for buying smart. Acer TravelMate 5100 WiFi should really be bought in brand new condition due to possible wear on any older used one.
