What do I need to connect to wifi?

RyantheArab · Feb 13, 2014

So I have my PC parts picked, but I am worried. I don't know if I am going to need a wireless network adapter or not? How can I tell? I have never built a PC this will be my first build. Thank you

check your motherboard specs if it have a wirelees device on if not you may need to buy a wireles pci card or a wi-fi dongle .

Well, if you plan to use the internet on your computer you're going to need a way to connect. First and foremost, are you going to connect your PC directly to your router via ethernet cord? If not you're going to need a wifi card or USB adapter.

I recommend the PCI wifi card.
