Sony VGN-AR500 Wifi
You are better off buying a new wireless 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 to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Sony laptop. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and 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.
