Wireless Internet Help!

[mlaykj99]

I built a new computer recently and the specs are here(minus the case): http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2186030/find-components-build.html

I take it the motherboard doesn't have wireless internet?
If it doesn't what will I need to allow it to have a wireless connection?

You'll need to install a wireless adapter. They come in PCI, PCIe, and USB (those are the ones I know off the top of my head). They're not too expensive either.

My advice to give to you about buying them is know what you need. If your computer's relatively close to your router (like same room), a USB adapter will suffice. These are generally really small and easy to set up, but their ranges are mediocre, and so are their speeds. I had to learn this the hard way, which can be seen if you were able to search through my posts, I have a Nano USB adapter in my gaming PC and I sort of regret it (I get full speed and everything cause my desktop's in the same room as my router. Approx. 2 feet away from each other).

If you're not all that close to your router, you should invest in a PCIe card. You'll have to open up your case, install, drivers, and yadayadaya, but PCIe cards will give you better speeds and better ranges, all due to the antennae.
