Compaq Presario CQ71 Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home router. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. 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.
How can I tell if my wireless card will soon go out?
- Your WiFi signal disconnects itself all the time
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
