Compaq 516 Wifi

It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to connect to your wireless router or modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. 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 Compaq 516.
