Lenovo ThinkCentre 9156 Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your desktop. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your wireless router or modem.
Major warnings to watch for in a bad wireless card
- The desktop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi goes out randomly all the time
- The wireless adapter on your desktop does not connect at all
