I feel like we've passed that point - not that I'd mind having ethernet jacks in every room, but better wifi solutions (not necessarily just a single router) tend to be sufficient for most uses. Whereas if I was setting up a house in the early 2000s or so, working ethernet in would have been a much bigger deal. Mine is sort of mixed I guess, and I do have ethernet run for desktop machines.
Anyway, by "adapter" above I meant your wifi device in the laptop. Essentially, ensure that's working as it should. It'd suck to spend a lot of time messing with the router only to find that your computer was acting up the whole time.
