Compaq Presario 2800 Wifi
Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home network. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my WiFi adapter is crapping out?
- The wireless adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless signal has trouble connecting every day
