Compaq NC8230 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq NC8230. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Warnings your wireless internet adapter has to be replaced
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
- The WiFi disconnects and reconnects all the time
