Which PCI slot?

[DnP]

Hi,
I've just purchased a TP-Link Wireless N adapter and am not too sure as to which PCI it plugs into. The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H. The options I have assending are PCIEX4, PCI, PCIEX8, PCIEX16.
Any advice and help would greatly be appreciated

You need to give us the model of the WiFi card.

You can place it in the very top PCI-E X1 slot if you want. The card itself is X1, so it will fit in any slot. Might as well use one that is controlled by the chipset though, so it won't steal lanes from a discrete GPU if you're using one.

The model of the WiFi card is TL-WN851ND

And Im not using a GPU keeping with intergrated for the time being.

As so it's a PCI card. Then stick it in the lone PCI slot you have on your board.

Ah okay, that makes sense. Many Thanks!

Use the PCI slot. Don't pay any attention to the 3rd post.
