Gateway 400SD4 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home router. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Major warnings to watch for in a failing onboard WiFi
- The laptop wireless driver gives errors when installing
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
