Compaq Presario 5BW284 Wifi
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. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Compaq desktop.
Simple indications of a faulty wireless card
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- Your wireless internet connection drops for no reason over and over again
- The desktop wireless driver shows it as not installed
