Compaq 1600-XL146 Wifi

Most new Wifi 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. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq 1600-XL146. You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
