A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-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 much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your home network.
