Sony PCG-NV209 Wifi
A lot of newer 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 operating system will take care of the rest. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router and modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
