Compaq LTE 5100 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your home router. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-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 cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, 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 Compaq desktop.
Clues to watch for to know your wireless internet adapter is dead
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your wireless internet connection drops multiple times throughout the day
- Your WiFi on your desktop will not connect to your router anymore
