A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and 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. It is cheaper and easier to purchase 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, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your home router. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your laptop.
Hints the wireless card will eventually need to be replaced
- The WiFi adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The wireless signal disconnects itself all the time
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
