Help Ron find a new Wi-Fi card for his laptop

Whatever you can afford and fits into the laptop card slot. Just make sure it says it supports the operating system installed on the laptop.

Don't neglect to install drivers. If you buy the same model card you were borrowing, the driver may even be the same.
