Flashermac Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 When I click on device manager, I do not see a wifi adaptor listed on my PC, just a Realtec PCIe GBE family controller. What do I need to put the PC on wifi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baa99 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 You need to install a wireless adapter. For your desktop, you have a choice of a USB adapter or a PCIe (internal slot) adapter. Do you have a WiFi router? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704059 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2N50XN1475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Of course the adaptor has to be there first ............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 True provided the router. I use it for the laptop upstairs, but not the PC. That is certainly chep enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I use 3BB it was a choice ether purchase a router from them or for same price a Belkin router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The PC is downstairs, which has no a/c. The upstairs does and it is just too hot many days to do without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 In general, the PCIe adapters tend to have better antennas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
