Sony VGN-SR490D Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home network.
Major indications of a worsening onboard WiFi
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The wireless signal goes out randomly every day
