I haven't shopped for an adapter for 2 years, so I can't say for sure. Just a quick Google search and I came up with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_57UxFb1J3FKMQ

Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that a pcie one would be better but idk.

Ideally being hardwired is best, but it's not always possible for some.

Is your motherboard advertised as having wifi capabilities? If so then you need to download the appropriate drivers to allow it to work. If not, you’ll need a wifi card. This will plug into your PCIE slot and stick out the back of the PC.

IDK about CA friend, but a popular choice here, and the #1 on Amazon seems to be

I'm not so well versed about vr and stuff but you should be able to connect vr to this PC through steam if it is wired, but if you want Bluetooth, you can add a wifi/Bluetooth card for about not too much more

Does your router support wifi 6? If not, then TP-Link AC1200 PCIe Wireless Wifi PCIe Card | 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter | Low Profile, Long Range Beamforming Heat Sink Technology | Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP (Archer T4E) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_T.IiFb058J2K7

Okay I don't really know much about WiFi speeds but should 1000Mbps be enough for everything? Also why is wireless measured in hertz, like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

The motherboard that I bought did not have WiFi on the motherboard so I bought this one and it worked flawlessly.

I'd never buy a 1080p monitor larger than 24". I've tried some and they're just too blurry. If you want a bigger monitor, get a 1440p one. Did your autocorrect turn GPU into "you" in that last sentence? If so, VRAM isn't the only determining factor when it comes to GPU performance. If you're talking about the RX 570, it's considerably worse performing compared to the 1660. It's behind the 1650 in performance.

And no, this motherboard does not have built in wifi. Didn't realize that was another requirement. You can pick up a wifi card for around $25. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Beamforming-Technology-Archer-T4E/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=sr_1_4?crid=30XWSFLD2EL6Q&keywords=wifi+pcie+card&qid=1579630797&s=electronics&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sprefix=wifi+pcie%2Caps%2C129&sr=1-4

It appears to have a PCIe x1 slot, so you can install any PCIe x1 WiFi card. Like Tp-Link Archer T4E

I have one of these

I think for a reasonable price you can get a WiFI card that will beat the performance of a USB adapter, assuming you have an available slot on your motherboard

for example

I wouldn't recommend changing that mobo. It has great vrm as well as being the best b450 mobo in that price range, feature list wise. Very little compromise (like no wifi)

You could just buy a pcie WiFi card to plug into your mobo.

Thats wifi 5. Also written as WiFi AC. Don't get the WiFi 4 (WiFi N). You could also get the WiFi 6 (AX) but unless your router is also WiFi 6, you will only be able to connect over WiFi 5.

Here's one

Got this for my build been using for 2.5 moths stays pretty stable

Why do you need a wired connection? Does your WiFi reach where your computer is? You’d just need a WiFi card.

I have one of these in a computer now since 2016, no issues TP-LINK AC1200 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_7pFQFbKFWPMPD

What about tp link

This will serve you fine. Just make sure you install the drivers included in the CD.

This one is fine and supports both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. https://www.amazon.com/-/de/Wireless-Beamforming-Technology-Archer-T4E/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tp+link+pci&qid=1590915527&sr=8-1

Its cheap and gets you 802.11ac wifi. You should be covered for a long time and not have to worry about it again.

I hear people say that mobo wifi sucks and wifi cards are better. Is the wifi on the bazookah equivalent to this wifi card?

Would this be a better choice?

Wifi PCIe card

Some motherboards already have it.

You're better off just purchasing a wireless card for your computer they're super easy to install.Linked below is the card I went with until I changed to hard wire.

This is a pretty solid adapter with AC WiFi -https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjtk5zTn5TrAhUJoLMKHe_-BfYYABAEGgJxbg&ae=1&sig=AOD64_2pnmbEJuEj8WEtU5WU4NVgEbr0ZA&ctype=70&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjt6ZLTn5TrAhUPmXIEHYelCUUQwg96BAgNEHI&adurl=https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Beamforming-Technology-Archer-T4E/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref%3Dasc_df_B07NFMSGGR/%3Ftag%3Dhyprod-20%26linkCode%3Ddf0%26hvadid%3D312780390407%26hvpos%3D%26hvnetw%3Dg%26hvrand%3D16666144683097977686%26hvpone%3D%26hvptwo%3D%26hvqmt%3D%26hvdev%3Dm%26hvdvcmdl%3D%26hvlocint%3D%26hvlocphy%3D9005932%26hvtargid%3Dpla-662850348214%26psc%3D1

There’s a few things you can do but some involve money.

1. Buy a WiFi network card. Make sure your computer has a free pci or pci-e motherboard slot and install it. Here’s how. Those USB WiFi adapters have very poor range. Even if you have a good router, the antenna on that little usb dongle just isn’t big enough.

2. Buy a range extender. These don’t work very as they have the potential to only retransmit a weak signal.

3. Buy an Ethernet over 120v / 220v set. This will let you connect two “extenders”, one near your router and one near your computer, and transmit internet connection over your power lines in your house.

4. I think there is a deeper problem here. Perhaps it’s time to come up with a conversation with your parents about your necessities. Make a plan about what you need and what you want.

For needs such as shaving cream, razors, socks, etc: try to have a reason behind why you describe it as a need rather than a want Relate to their needs such as toilet paper, underwear, toothbrushes Create a sense of urgency and ask for a timeframe of when you will receive it

For wants such as expensive computer components etc... explain: how you would use it how grateful you are to receive it if you were to get it (but by no means demand) what you will do to show that gratefulness (chores, grades, etc) Promote why you think you deserve it for what you’ve already done( chores, grades, good behavior ) but do not go overboard.

I think a big worry for many parents is that a child spends too much time with a device (computer, phone, etc..). If you think this applies to you, and I am not saying it does, then you should address this issue as well.

would this be pretty solid?

Will I be able to use this WiFi PCIe card with this refurbished PC? A friend purchased it and didn't realize it didn't have pre-built WiFi and I was hoping to spare them the trouble of using a USB connector. If there is another PCIe card in that price range that is better, that would be great too. Thanks!

This Ax adapter or this AC adapter

Not a dumb question at all, this board does not have wireless capabilities. To make it wireless you will need to purchase a wireless network adapter, either USB or PCIe x1. Personally I would go the PCIe route for better quality but the USB route is a tad cheaper.

Here is a suggestion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

I would also get a WiFi card since it seems your motherboard doesn't have one integrated, as well as a USB 3.0 expansion card since your motherboard doesn't have enough USB 3.0 slots for proper tracking.

Links to parts:

WiFi card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iVg7Eb1WSF1RC

USB expansion card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072LS4JH7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.Vg7Eb1DDA38F

It is important that you get this USB expansion card because each port gets max power so that your tracking quality stays good. USB expansion cards that share power with each port don't get enough power in each port to support good tracking.

How about this one - https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Beamforming-Technology-Archer-T4E/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ ?

It has no BT. But it is available in my country tho.

The other consideration is that the wifi on your MSI desktop is simply bad.

You may want to try a replacement https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Beamforming-Technology-Archer-T4E/dp/B07NFMSGGR/

Well, they're just USB devices - not "drives". But they generally work well. A lot will depend on how far away the desktop is from the Wi-Fi source (router). If it's in the same room, you can probably get one like this, that's the same size as a wireless mouse dongle. If the back is hidden, or the router is a couple rooms over, something like this would be better. For all around best performance on a desktop (and none of the downsides of USB), you should go for something like this - much more stable and reliable.

A wifi card can come in many different shapes and sizes.

It could be integrated into your computers mother board like thi:ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SXF8GY3/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_OQtMEbTMB2J8D

It could be a wifi add on card like this:TP-Link AC1200 PCIe Wireless Wifi PCIe Card | 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter | Low Profile, Long Range Beamforming Heat Sink Technology | Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP (Archer T4E) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_rRtMEbXSGC1N8

Or it could be a USB wifi adapter like this:TP-Link USB Wifi Adapter for PC AC600Mbps Wireless Network Adapter for Desktop with 2.4GHz/5GHz High Gain Dual Band 5dBi Antenna, Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS 10.9-10.14 (Archer T2U Plus) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P5PRK7J/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_aStMEbPTAP4J3

Whatever it is you are using, they still use the same chip sets made by Realtek, Broadcom, Qualcomm etc. All you have to do is figure out which chipset it uses then type in the search bar "name of you wifi chipset" Linux drivers. This will result in many forum posts or tutorials demonstrating hoe to install those drivers.

For me, I use a wifi adapter that uses the Realtek 8812BU chipset. Searching for it online gave a comment post from ask Ubuntu. I was able to use that site and install the driver with only 3 terminal commands(copy pasted)

A quick search of Amazon shows there are plenty of options for 802.11ac and 802.11ax PCIe cards. For example:

TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi Card | Up to 2400Mbps | Bluetooth 5.0 | 802.11AX Dual Band Wireless Adapter with MU-MIMO,OFDMA,Ultra-Low Latency | Supports Windows 10 (64bit) only (Archer TX3000E)

TP-Link AC1200 PCIe Wireless Wifi PCIe Card | 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter | Low Profile, Long Range Beamforming Heat Sink Technology | Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP (Archer T4E)

ASUS PCE-AC56 PCI Wireless Express Adapter

Edit: Use with an extension ribbon such as this:

PCI-e PCI Express 36PIN 1X Extender Extension Cable with Gold-Plated Connector

Or just take the easy road and use one of the myriad USB WiFi adaptors on the market.

$450 PC: RX 570, 1TB SSD, and Wifi

On this budget, you want to buy a used business PC and add a modern video card like the RX 570. To do this, we also need to buy a new PSU and add a PSU adapter to support the proprietary motherboard. This is an extremely cost-effective way to build a PC that can run any modern game at 1080p.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p

• Medium Settings: ~60fps

The Build

• CPU, Motherboard, RAM and Case: $150 Dell Optiplex with i7-3770 and 8GB of RAM. I opted to go for a slightly more expensive i7 CPU rather than an i5 because the hyper-threading will make some modern games run noticeably better. You may want to add an extra 8GB stick of RAM, but don't do that until you can see what exact model of RAM is already in the PC (can't tell from the PC description). Ideally you want to buy a stick with matching speed and latency timings. That should cost you an extra ~$35.
• SSD: $86 1TB TC SUNBOW. The Optiplex PC comes with an HDD,
• Video Card: $105 RX 570
• Power Supply: $70 Seasonic S12II 500W
• PSU adapter: $11 Longdex adapter
• Wifi Adapter: $30 TP-Link AC1200 PCIe adapter

Total Price: 150 + 86 + 105 + 70 + 11 + 30 = $452

(+$35 if you add the extra 8GB of RAM)

May not be the most cost-effective but it'll do.
