Acer Aspire 5715 Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your laptop.
Major signs to watch for in a bad wireless internet adapter
- The WiFi disconnects itself over and over again
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
