Compaq 1600-XL140 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi 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 what OS you are running on your laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
What warnings should I watch out for to know if my wireless card is almost going bad?
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly over and over again
- The wireless adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
