Compaq Presario XL122 Wifi
You are better off buying a common WiFi 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 in order to talk to your home network. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your laptop. Most USB 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 install the drivers on its own.
How do you know when your wireless card has gone bad?
- The WiFi adapter in your Compaq laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The wireless signal disconnects and reconnects every day
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
