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. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Sony laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to connect to your wireless router or modem.
Major symptoms your wireless internet adapter will eventually need to be replaced
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
- Your WiFi signal drops multiple times over and over again
