Sony VGN-FW140E Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to 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 laptop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Some warnings your internal WiFi is in need of replacing
- The wireless signal has trouble connecting over and over again
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
