Compaq Evo N600C Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your home network. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq laptop. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Warnings to watch for in a failing onboard WiFi
