Compaq Presario 1262 Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Compaq laptop. 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 system will install the drivers automatically. It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem.
General indicators that your internal WiFi will have to be replaced
- The WiFi goes in and out every day
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
