Compaq Presario 1600-XL140 Wifi
Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. A lot of newer 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.
Some clues of a poorly performing wireless card
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi goes in and out every day
- The laptop wireless driver gives errors when installing
