Compaq Presario 1800T Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Compaq laptop. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router.

- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
