Apple Power Macintosh 5400-160 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Apple desktop.
What symptoms are present when the WiFi adapter is about to fail?
- Your WiFi signal goes out randomly during the day
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
