Lenovo ThinkCentre 8117 Wifi
Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
