hey /wsr/, I built a PC just an hour ago
Everything is going great. Installed Windows for free easily, drivers are all updated with no hassle thanks to usb+other computer, but then there's one thing in my way: I need to connect wirelessly (because reasons) and I am only given the option to go with ethernet
As much as I want to be wired, I cannot due to physical limitations of my surroundings atm. My question is this: how do I switch my way of connecting to the internet from wired to wireless? I might be able to build a computer and know hardware stuff, but I hardly know much about internet connections (I'm only a newbie). Thanks in advance

do you have a pci wifi card/usb wifi adapter? only some motherboards come with wifi out of the box, most notably m-itx boards. if you do not have a pci wifi card or usb adapter, you cant use wifi.
My mobo is pic related. I just checked their site and I guess it doesn't
Time to go back to the store and buy that. Thanks for the info anon-kun

not op but is PCI better or worse than the usb ones? I found a usb that came with an extension cable

PCI express is better than USB, but plain PCI is about the same. I imagine USB 3.0 would be somewhere the middle.

More bandwidth, so data gets through there faster.
