Lenovo ThinkPad W701 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and 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. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
