Compaq Presario CQ20 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Compaq laptop.
