Lenovo IdeaPad Z40 Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem.
