Lenovo ThinkCentre 8196 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your router and modem. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Lenovo desktop.
Cues to watch for in a failing onboard WiFi
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless adapter in your Lenovo desktop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi disconnects and reconnects every day
