Sony VGN-A170P Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your router and modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically.
Main clues your internal WiFi will eventually need to be replaced
- The WiFi drops multiple times all the time
- Your WiFi in your Sony laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
