Compaq 1600-XL257 Wifi
Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to connect to your home router.
Subtle hints the WiFi adapter should need replacing
- The laptop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless signal disconnects itself throughout the day
- Your WiFi in your Compaq laptop is unable to connect to the internet
