Compaq Presario 1600-XL145 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Compaq Presario 1600-XL145. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your home router.
