Sony VGN-FW488J Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Sony laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home network.
Indications the WiFi adapter is dead
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
- Your WiFi signal drops multiple times throughout the day
- The wireless adapter in your Sony laptop is unable to connect to the internet
