Ok well no worries. I'll just move the router to my room and plug in an ethernet cable.

Are there any motherboards nowadays that have built in wifi adapters?  Because I'm going to be building a new computer towards the end of this year (hopefully) and that'd be pretty rad.

Cost of a motherboard compared to cost of a Wifi adapter....

I found a board but there not selling them anymore I goggled it and Asus did make a wireless edition back in the day Here to give it a look see

So I didn't have an ethernet cable handy and I was too lazy to move the router, so I decided to go to Staples and just buy a wireless card there. Unfortunately they don't sell any PCI-e wireless cards (which I found out after buying a PCI one from there.. Oops. Had to go back to return it.) So I picked up one of those wireless USB adapters (Dlink Xtreme N with Dual Band). Installing the drivers now. Lets hope it works!

EDIT: Works like a charm (and doesn't take up space in the mobo so that's an upside).

you can use a PCI card in a PCI-e slot just FYI

Really? I tried to fit it in but there was no way it was gonna fit in the PCI-e slot.

oh nvm, I was wrong and was thinking of something else(a PCI-e bus is still technically compatible with PCI, but the physical slots aren't), you can but you'd need an adapter...

that's weird that your board doesn't have any. Is regular ol' PCI being phased out?

I think his board is a pro-gamer board so they've deliberately left them out to allow QUAD-SLI etc.

If you're already buying a motherboard though, why not avoid having to deal with an adapter?

But if this is gonna apparently be some obscure thing nobody's selling regularly then I wouldn't bother.

You can get a USB wifi adapter for < £5 and the choice of motherboard should be more based on the chipset you want to support your CPU and GPU,the PCI bus bandwidth support (i.e. how many slots are x8 or x16). It'd be daft for the choice to be overridden by WiFi when there are a lot more important features to consider!

What a petty post. I'm sorry. This was a dumb argument. Go make me a sandwich.

Yeah but who said anything about picking a motherboard JUST for having wifi?  I was thinking that maybe this was a standard thing in motherboards nowadays (because I haven't looked at computer hardware since I built my desktop in like 2005), in which case it would just be a nice added feature.  You were making it out to be something it wasn't, bub!

Also I've never bought a USB wifi adapter for under £5.  Ever.  Maybe I'm just buying pricey ones but yeah they've never been THAT cheap.

Admitedly my USB adapter is duct taped to my desk with a USB extension lead to get better signal ;D

It was £3 on ebay.

My favorite time calling technical support was when I called them up about some probably with my video card, and this lady kept on saying "You need to calm down, sir" over and over again. It was amazing. I wasn't even angry or yelling, I was just trying to ask them a question about it.

huh, makes sense now I guess.

why the hell would nVidia sell something like that on the consumer market right now? Pretty much every significant aspect of "fermi" is pretty pointless for gamers and it strikes me as something that belongs in some design studio rendering cluster.

So Mateui did you get your replacement card?
