A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your wireless router or modem.
Symptoms your wireless internet adapter is not going to last much longer
