Sony VGN-AW290 Wifi
Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Sony laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router and modem.
Clues to watch for to know your internal WiFi needs a replacement ASAP
- Your wireless internet connection disconnects and reconnects throughout the day
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your WiFi in your Sony laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
