Sony VGN-A170B Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home router. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
Important hints your wireless internet adapter is failing
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your WiFi signal drops multiple times every day
