Compaq Presario 1600 Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Compaq laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your home network. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
General indicators that your wireless internet adapter should be replaced
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- Your wireless internet connection drops multiple times all the time
