Need a network card

Ollie1132 · 27 Dec 2015 at 21:59

I'm helping my friend put together her first PC. And we forgot the fact that she actually needs to connect to the internet. Now I'm not really very clue'ed up on network cards as I prefer to hardwire everything.

Generally just need anything that connects to an N standard router. (I think?)

Not too pricey preferred!

Take your pick, any will do if you're not bothered about AC or higher rated wifi for future etc.

Just make sure you get a PCI-E version adapter.

Aha well... I don't want it to be shoddy... I'll get shouted at if she drops connection randomly. I was thinking anything TP-Link should be a safe bet?

The ASUS' adapters are really good also, so any of the TP-Link or ASUS ones... Which are the only 2 brands OC stock!

Go for this one if she doesn't mind spending £26 on it.

Yup thats what I decided on for her. The 30% off was a real selling point.
