Apple PowerBook 165C Wifi
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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your wireless router or modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and 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. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Apple laptop.
What are some indications that my wireless card has to be replaced?
- The WiFi has trouble connecting during the day
- The laptop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop is unable to connect to the internet
