Compaq Presario 1600T Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop.
Main clues your wireless internet adapter will not last the year
- The laptop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The wireless signal disconnects and reconnects throughout the day
