WiFi Connection

[star_liners]

I recently took apart my prebuilt dell xps 8700 and bought mostly new parts and a new case however the mobo I chose (G1.Sniper H6) does not have wireless internet connection and I have yet to route a Ethernet cable down to my pc.  My dell xps however came with a WLAN card(picture below) which gives me wireless connection that I desperately need but my new mobo does not come with a way to plug it in. Is there any cheap yet effective wireless card you reccomend or do you know of a way I can plug the WLAN card in?  I have also included a picture of the slot I would plug it into originally on my old mobo.  I also found this extra piece from a computer I took apart from a while ago and I’m wondering if it would work for WiFi.

The ASUS PCE-N15 is a pretty good 2.4GHz Wi-Fi adapter. If you need 5.0GHz though it won't cut it.

 

To use that laptop wireless NIC there are adapters you can buy to convert it to a desktop size PCI_e slot. I'll try to find one with the right key.

Thank you for this information!  If I were to choose a 5GHz WiFi adapter what would your recommendation be?

Unfortunately I went wired networking before going into the 5.0GHz NIC territory so I can't really help there.

 

As for adapting that Laptop NIC this should do the trick.

 

Here's an even cheaper one: Mini Pci-e Express to Pci-e Wireless Adapter
