Topic: New computer Wifi? Posted: 16 Sep 2016 at 1:22pm |
Hey there!
I just got my awesome computer today and I got everything set up! When I try to set up my wifi, there was no wifi list. Currently I am using a ethernet cable and that's a problem considering I need to get my modem, router next to my pc. Do I need a Wireless adapator? I am assuming that the motherboard doesn't come with a wifi card. |

What motherboard do you have ? Most do not have WIFI built in. If there is no connector in the back to plug in the included antennae then not a wifi mobo. You'll need an internal card or a USB wifi adapter. Tons to pick from on Amazon.

he needs a specific motherboard model to know whether or not it has wi-fi capabilities.

If you got a vanquish then I'm pretty sure you don't have wifi.
What made you think you have wifi ability if I may ask? |

Many years ago my family owned a PC back around 2008~2009 I believe. There was wifi in the PC so I thought that most PC's come with the wifi kinda like a laptop. But hey, you learn something new everything right? haha Anyways right now I am doing really good with the PC. currently am using ethernet but if the wiring becomes too much of an issue if I ever move to a different house, I could just get a adapter. PC is great! Definitely will be recommending Digital Storm to friends! |

or you can go into the UEFI bios. or just open it up and look at the board, it should be written on it somewhere. |

Congratulations and welcome to DS. Gaming and just regular connectivity is much better by wire than wi-fi. Enjoy.
