Lenovo ThinkCentre 5053 Wifi
You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Lenovo ThinkCentre 5053. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically.
Clues to watch for to know the wireless card is on its last leg
- The WiFi goes in and out over and over again
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop will not connect to your router anymore
