Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your home network. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq laptop.
What red flags are there that my WiFi adapter has gone bad?
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi in your Compaq laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- Your wireless internet connection has trouble connecting over and over again
