Lenovo ThinkCentre 8976 Wifi
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. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to connect to your router and modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Lenovo ThinkCentre 8976. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have.
Key clues to watch for in a bad WiFi adapter
- The WiFi goes out randomly throughout the day
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
