Dell Studio XPS 7100 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. 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 handle everything from there. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi 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 due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your desktop.
