Lenovo Aptiva 2142 Wifi
Most new Wifi 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, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home network. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your desktop.
Red flags your internal WiFi will have to be replaced
- Your wireless internet connection drops multiple times every day
