Sony VGN-FW490D Wifi

Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Sony VGN-FW490D. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your home network.

What warnings should I watch out for to know if my onboard WiFi is in need of replacing?

The laptop wireless driver gives errors when installing
Your WiFi signal disconnects itself over and over again
Your WiFi in your Sony laptop will not connect to your router anymore
