Hey guys im hoping i can get some help from you all! My friend doesnt have any way of getting an ethernet cable in his room to get to his computer, ive never had such a problem so i dont really know what exactly he needs, i assume he needs like a wireless lan pci card or something like that so if you guys can clarify that is what he needs or correct me and suggest which product he should get that would be awesome! Thanks!

What @Tea1337 said, or, you can buy a PCI Express Wireless Adapter, smack it in the PC, close the box and there ya go. Price range for that would be between £15 and £25, depending on what his signal strength is... and whether he needs 5Gzh.

If he want's wireless he can just get a USB Wifi adapter from newegg for like $15 that can handle up to 300mbp/s

If he want's better latency though powerline will get him that. Though it is no faster and costs 10x more. Also what I did was tapped into the phone wiring from my ancient house and reqired it for ethernet. I only get 100Mbps bandwidth but its still better than paying for powerline and the latency is less.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ


Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory
