Lenovo ThinkPad R61 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop.
What warnings should I watch out for to know if my WiFi adapter really needs to be replaced?
- The WiFi drops multiple times all the time
- The wireless adapter in your Lenovo laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
