I own a Sony Vaio notebook model VGN-A190. I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the internal hardware for the wireless receiver. Too often I'm unable to detect a wireless network when other notebooks have no problem. What are my options if any? Thanks in advance

You updated the driver?

What card do you have right now?

On the bottom of your laptop you should have a small door that the wireless card is under. You should have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG Mini-PCI card in there. The best wireless card I've found for range are the Atheros AR5006 cards. You can pick up a Mini-PCI one for less than $50, and get the latest driver from here.
Wireless hardware upgrade?...
