Compaq Evo N160 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a 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 network. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop.
What to see if the onboard WiFi is about to fail?
- The wireless adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
- Your wireless internet connection goes out randomly all the time
