Compaq Presario XL182 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to talk to your home network.
Warnings the WiFi adapter will not live much longer
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq laptop does not connect at all
- Your wireless internet connection disconnects itself all the time
