Dell Inspiron 580S Wifi
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. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and 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 network. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Dell desktop.
