Compaq Armada E500S Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your wireless router or modem.
