Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your desktop. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to communicate with your wireless router or modem. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Red flags the WiFi adapter should need replacing
- Your wireless internet connection goes in and out over and over again
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
