Compaq Presario 1600-XL150 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your wireless router or modem. 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 Compaq laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Key indicators that my wireless internet adapter has to be replaced?
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly during the day
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
