Apple PowerBook 5300-100 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your wireless router or modem. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Apple PowerBook 5300-100.
Signals your internal WiFi is in dire need of a replacement
- The WiFi has trouble connecting all the time
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi adapter in your Apple laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
