Compaq Deskpro 386 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to connect to your router. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq Deskpro 386. 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. It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Some warnings of a dying onboard WiFi
- The desktop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq desktop is unable to connect to the internet
- The wireless signal disconnects and reconnects all the time
