Compaq Presario 1260 Wifi
It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your laptop. Most new Wifi 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 to communicate with your home network.
Major indications your wireless internet adapter is not going to last much longer
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your WiFi on your laptop does not connect at all
- Your WiFi signal goes in and out throughout the day
