Is there such a thing as a wireless network card that would fit in a pci express slot? I've looked and wondered if there's such a thing. I just got a brand new pc and all it has is a pciex1 and a pciex16 slot. If thats not possible what are my options to connect to a router wirelessly?
No PCI slots at all? Ouch. This isn't cheap, but it should work really well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127218
Honestly that card is pretty cheap for a wireless N card. Your other option is basically buying an external USB wireless receiver.
i switched a while back from usb wireless to a pci-e wirless card and found that browsing speeds were similar but downloading increased significantly with the PCI card... if your going to be using it for heavy downloading and gaming i would go with the pci card sammorris suggested i think zyxel has a similar card http://us.zyxel.com/web/product_category.php?PC1indexflag=20040520161256 but otherwise you may just want to pick up a usb wirless card best of luck! -tripplite
