Acer TravelMate 5220 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 OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Acer laptop. It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
