Lenovo IdeaPad Z480 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Lenovo IdeaPad Z480.
Major indications your internal WiFi will have to be replaced
- The wireless adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless signal goes in and out during the day
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
