Sony VGN-S580 Wifi
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. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Sony VGN-S580.
Signs of an ailing onboard WiFi
- The wireless adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The WiFi adapter in your Sony laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- Your wireless internet connection goes out randomly throughout the day
