Sony VGN-C290 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. 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 VGN-C290. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router.
Cues of a declining WiFi adapter
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly throughout the day

- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
