Toshiba Satellite M45-S169 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Toshiba laptop. You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Clues to watch for to know the wireless card will need replacing
- The wireless adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The laptop wireless driver cannot be installed
- The wireless signal drops for no reason throughout the day
