Sony VGN-AR170P Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home router.
Key signs to watch for in a bad onboard WiFi
- The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your wireless internet connection drops for no reason over and over again
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
