Dell OptiPlex FX160 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router and modem. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell desktop.
