Lenovo ThinkCentre 5061 Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your wireless router or modem. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Simple indications to watch for in a failing WiFi adapter
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi drops for no reason over and over again
- The wireless adapter on your desktop does not connect at all
