Compaq Armada 4120 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router. A lot of newer wireless 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. 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. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your laptop.
Major clues the WiFi adapter is in need of replacing
- The WiFi goes in and out throughout the day
- Your WiFi in your Compaq laptop does not connect at all
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
