I need WiFi and Bluetooth

[star_pilot475]

Hey guys, so my USB WiFi adapter is dying a slow death (had it for about 8 years) and I’m looking for a cheap way to add WiFi and Bluetooth to my pc ($25 budget, if that’s too low let me know). What’s the best way of adding it to a pc for cheap? I do have an available mini pcie slot, as well as a pcie X4 slot.

Something like this?

Is that M.2 though? I don’t have an m.2 slot. I did buy a $5 WiFi card that looks similar to that but it didn’t really work.

That would be Mini PCIE

Yeeesh I must not have mini pcie then. Sorry. I wonder what the heck my system has then...

 

 

edit: this is the WiFi card I bought. I realized about 2 weeks ago that I should have looked at the compatibility list at the bottom of the listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Intel-Wireless-N-2230BNHMW-WiFi-Bluetooth-Mini-PCI-Express-Card-5DVH7-/202374605151

I personally use the Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I, it's a PCIe Wi-Fi card that supports 802.11ac 2.4 + 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, as well as Bluetooth 5.0. This particular model supports speeds of up to 1733Mbps.

 

I got it for £28 from Amazon UK and it's been splendid to use ever since I got it.

 

It will fit into a PCIe slot and there are no drivers required.
