Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 Wifi

Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Lenovo IdeaPad Y480. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your router and modem. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. 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 OS will handle everything from there.

Clues your internal WiFi has very little life left

The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
The WiFi adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
The wireless signal disconnects itself all the time

Check eBay to see if your wifi is in stock!

A Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 WiFi should really be bought new due to the wear on an old used WiFi. Your Lenovo laptop will be happier for buying smart. It is in your best interest to note the model number before placing an order for a new WiFi. Always buy computer parts from a known seller if you purchase through a website.
