Hey all, I won't be able to connect LAN cable anymore to my PC and only have one PCIE 2.0 x16 slot available on my motherboard. Will a PCIE express WiFi card work on this slot? I have used a powerline before and am not interested in purchasing another one so what are my other solutions?

Yes, they're backwards compatible. There might be some bandwidth limitations if it's a 1x card, but nothing serious.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
