Compaq Presario V6000 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Compaq laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
