Compaq Presario 1683 Wifi
It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to connect to your router.
Easy warnings of a poorly working onboard WiFi
- Your WiFi in your Compaq laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your wireless internet connection disconnects and reconnects all the time
