    No the laptops don't have adapters,they have cards built in.now if the adapter comes with the router then it is setup for that router,and if u bought a new router with no adapter the old adapter would not work with the new router right

    If the wireless adapters support the same type (A,B,G, and or N) then they should work together. They do not have to be purchased together or be the same brand name.
