Gateway 200ARC Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Gateway laptop.
What signals that my WiFi adapter is on its last leg?
- The WiFi goes in and out throughout the day
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
