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. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router and modem. It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
