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 laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your wireless router or modem. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my wireless internet adapter needs to be replaced?
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
- Your wireless internet connection goes in and out during the day
