Lenovo ThinkCentre 8116 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi 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 because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router and modem.
Red flags your internal WiFi will need replacing
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi drops multiple times during the day
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
