It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to connect to your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your desktop.
