Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Key clues of a failing wireless internet adapter
