Sony VGN-FW226 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your wireless router or modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop.
Some warnings the wireless card will need to be replaced
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- Your WiFi signal goes in and out over and over again
