Compaq Presario XL124 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
