Compaq Presario XL183 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home network. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. 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. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Clues to watch for to know the WiFi adapter will need to be replaced
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter in your Compaq laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- Your wireless internet connection goes in and out over and over again
