Apple Power Macintosh 5275 LC Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your desktop.
How do you know if your wireless internet adapter is crapping out?
- The WiFi adapter in your Apple desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The WiFi disconnects and reconnects throughout the day
