Compaq Presario 1266 Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Compaq Presario 1266. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your wireless router or modem. 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 OS will handle everything from there. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Important signs the WiFi adapter should need replacing
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless signal goes out randomly during the day
- The wireless adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
