Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop.
