Real n00b question about getting wi-fi
Last response: in Systems
hey guys, I'm going to build me a pc and I'd like to get wireless internet, however the motherboard in going to buy doesn't have an on-board wireless card, so my question is: how do I get wireless internet? I know I probably have to buy an external card or something but I have no idea what kind etc.
specs:
Asrock Z77 extreme 4
Intel 3570K
MSI Power Edition OC
Corsair GS700
Corsair Vengeance BLUE,1600,16GB LP
Seagate barracuda 1TB
Zalman Z11 PLUS
thanks in advance![:D]( ":D")

You could either get a PCI based wireless card or a usb wireless dongle.Personally i would do a quick google search on powerline adapter. It'll give you wired speeds and reduced response time and you won't have to have ethernet leads trailing all through your house.
okay, how about something like this: http://afuture.nl/productview.php?productID=229388 ?

you can just buy a card that plugs in to your motherboardor a usb stick
mikerocket how is the latency on the powerline adapters?
On mine i average around 10-18ms. That's to the net, not the router.

If you know the brand of the router you are connecting to and the wifi chip it has [ broadcom , realtech etc ] then buy one with the same brand so you can guarantee compatibility , if you dont know then it will almost always work anyway
