Sony VGN-S170 Wifi
Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Sony laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Indications the WiFi adapter is dying
- Your WiFi on your laptop does not connect at all
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your wireless internet connection has trouble connecting during the day
