Sony VGN-CR116E Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Sony laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
Clues to watch for to know the WiFi adapter will soon need to be replaced
- The wireless adapter in your Sony laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi goes in and out during the day
