Dell Dimension E521 Wifi
A lot of newer 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 install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your home router. It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your desktop.
