Apple PowerBook 170 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home network. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Apple PowerBook 170. 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 system will install the drivers automatically.
Indications your internal WiFi is dying
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter in your Apple laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The wireless signal has trouble connecting during the day
