Dell Dimension 5000 Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your desktop. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-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. WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your home router. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have.
