Can I install a wlan card in my mainboard?
I bought a PC from Amazon for Office and a few games like fortnite or gta but I had problems switching on (I don't know about PCs that well) because I wanted to connect to my Wi-Fi but went not because of a network cable or adapter network / lan cable does not work for me because the Wi-Fi router is one floor below and an adapter (I researched the Internet) is only good for a short distance but then I found the Wi-Fi card and I'm a bit I got skeptical because I don't know if my mainboard has a wlan card slot for it and I'm also a bit scared how I install it because if it breaks, well then I'm dead… Fun with the pc cost about 400 euro and I hope that the mainboard is good enough then I dare to open the pc my mainboard is the intel 1150 mainboard (1x pci 16x, 1x vga, 1x dvi, 4x usb-a 2.0, 1x gb lan, 3x jack, 2x ps / 2 , 2x ddr3 slots) I bought the pc at Amazon that is:
As long as you still have a free PCIe slot, yes.
It's best to have a look if you have a free pcie slot.
But you should, because you don't even have a graphics card.
OK. And where is the? So what does that look like, I'm really stupid, sorry, haha.
So in advance:
If you can still send the pc back, please do it.
===
But to the real question:
If there's a free PCIe slot on the mainboard, you can retrofit a wlan card.
If nobody is free, you can also use a Wi-Fi stick.
Personally, I can only advise against a Wi-Fi connection when gaming.
That's a finished pc. Dat ding is being cheated. Ne bomb. And be kidding in one. There are also MB's without PCI slots
I added a picture. Looks a bit different depending on the motherboard, of course, but I think you will find the right slot ^^
Yes, I recommend that to him too.
Show me a Lga 1150 motherboard without a pcie slot
If you don't dare to open your PC anyway, a Wi-Fi card won't help you.
Then take a USB Wi-Fi stick. It is easier to install and it has one less problem that a WLAN card has, namely the housing. Since a housing often contains a lot of metal, which is bad for forwarding signals such as Wi-Fi, it is definitely more sensible to use a USB stick than a Wi-Fi card.
Personally, I have had better experiences with Wi-Fi sticks that also have an antenna than with those without.
You really have 0 plan of PCs. So a finished PC is the same as cheating? And then also in this price range? Deal with a topic for at least 5 minutes before making such statements.
Look in china. Finished pcs. I've already had 1150 boards with soldered cpus in hand.
Okay, can you recommend a good wlan stick, best with a very high speed and maybe without a CD for the driver since I don't have a DVD drive?
In the price range, however, he will hardly find something worth mentioning better. For 400 euro incl. You can't make great demands on a monitor.
So if the FS is not willing to spend 2-3 times as much money, it can keep it.
You can also use a WLAN USB stick. This gives you the advantage that you don't have to open the PC. For example this: https://www.amazon.de/...07XCMBLBJ/
It's easy to set up. First plug the stick into a USB port on the PC. Then install the supplied driver CD. If you don't have a drive, you can find the download link for the driver in the instructions supplied. Then simply install it with a double click.
Then press the WPS button on the router. Then press the WPS button on the WLAN stick within 2 minutes. And the connection is established.
I also have this stick and I'm completely satisfied with it.
You can download the driver from the manufacturer's website, but it is usually not necessary.
Just take a look on Ebay which Wi-Fi stick is most likely what is best for you. This is no longer necessarily high-tech - there are also very good ones for little money.
However, BGA1150 would be soldered. LGA is not soldered by definition.
The CPU is only available as an LGA1150 version, i.e. Not soldered.
As I said, show me a LGA 1150 MB without a pcie slot.
Intel does not manufacture all CPUs as solderable variants.
Yes, that's right. Because you only get a pc for office and fortnite with 1200 euro.
I'm well aware of that. Nevertheless, there are some scrap companies. Solder the LGA1150. This is absolutely rare, but it does exist. Even if it doesn't make sense.
So we ask. Should I now travel 3 years into the past. Rummaging through the trash looking for the MB take a picture traveling again in 2021 and sending it to you? Do you think I keep a garbage like that?
Located "below" the mainboard. Since I don't know exactly how yours is built. It could well be. That this is left / right.
They are already marked in the picture above.
"Since a housing often contains a lot of metal, which is bad for forwarding signals such as Wi-Fi," Alter wie. HOW did you get community expert? Show me a source that says that you have SO bad Wi-Fi.
Apart from that, even cheap cards today have antennas that are attached to the card OUTSIDE the housing.
With the stick, I can only agree.
Well, in the Amazon description it has a PCI x16 slot.
There's no such thing, there's PCIe x16, and there's PCI.
But one of the two will be in there.
I think they mean PCIe x16, but PCI is also enough for a network card.
You can do the dozen. I'm not turning off there.
I didn't read through the data from the mainboard shortly after the report. But nothing changes that there are still mainboards without PCI. No matter if pcie x16 or pci.
But he doesn't need a network card because a stick is enough.
No, it is "on" the mainboard. To the left of the chipset and below the CPU.
?
It is usually like that. However, there are mainboards that have the slots elsewhere. There are also rare but there are.
To prevent that, I wrote it like this.
By them I mean the provider of the motherboard not you.
As I said, the display says that the mainboard has PCI x16 (whatever is there)
There are mainboards without PCIe, of course (my Raspberry Pi has no PCIe, neither does my laptop) but not that, and not one.
The questioner mentioned the possibility, he said the reception is not so good with the sticks. And he is not wrong about it.
Right. But I have already communicated. That I read it in retrospect. That cleared up the whole thing. It doesn't change the fact. However, if he is afraid to open the pc. Is the stick the better choice despite poor reception. Everything else is up to him.
Should I really explain the simplest physics to you here? Wi-Fi is a type of radio that is massively blocked by iron.
And now guess what the main component of a PC case is if we assume that it is not a transparent case.
Go home and play with dolls that match your mental age.
Right. Nobody denied. Learn to read. Then you would know that the receiver is still outside. And now don't tell me "they'll be blocked" or I'll tell you a fairy tale right away. Obviously the reception will be worse. But not so much worse that nothing works anymore. Find yourself a doctor. You imagine a lot. Apart from insulting, there's nothing else you can do.
