Quick question Toshiba Satellite WiFi

[TheAdvocate]

I think the Wifi chip in my wife's Toshiba Satellite has failed.

I have not opened it up yet, but I have tried several diagnostics to get Windows to at least recognize it, and it will not, so I suspect a hardware failure.

Assuming it is - should I attempt to replace it, or would it just be cheaper/easier to buy a wifi card to plug in?

I would probably just get a usb WiFi. I have not priced one lately but that would almost be the easiest way to go.
