The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. A lot of newer wireless 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. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your desktop.
