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. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your router and modem. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have.
Indications the wireless card is failing
- The desktop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop is unable to find a signal from your router
- Your WiFi signal has trouble connecting all the time
