Sony VGN-AR170 Wifi
You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. 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.
Red flags your internal WiFi has little time left
- The WiFi adapter in your Sony laptop does not connect at all
