Compaq Presario XL101 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to communicate with your router.
