Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop. 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.
