It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router and modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Subtle hints the wireless card will die soon
- Your WiFi signal disconnects and reconnects over and over again
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your desktop does not connect at all
