Sony VGN-A690 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to talk to your home router. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Sony laptop.
What red flags are there that my onboard WiFi really needs to be replaced?
- Your wireless internet connection disconnects itself every day
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
