Compaq Presario V5100 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home network. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop. 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.
Major signs your internal WiFi should be replaced
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi goes in and out during the day
- The WiFi adapter in your Compaq laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
