Compaq Prosignia 170 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq Prosignia 170. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
How can I tell if my WiFi adapter is in need of replacing?
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your WiFi signal goes in and out all the time
- Your WiFi in your Compaq laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
