Lenovo ThinkCentre 8189 Wifi
You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your desktop.
Important signs your internal WiFi is going out
- The WiFi adapter driver gives errors when installing
- Your WiFi signal drops multiple times all the time
- The wireless adapter in your Lenovo desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
