[Lyonic]

If I buy a computer from overclockers does it come with like, wireless on it? So i can access the internet without the cable I mean.

If not can anyone recommend one?

That model does not, you can specify an adapter in the options menu, go down to Networking option and choose an adapter, the TP Link PCI adapter will be adequate for most users.

If you look at the 'Networking' drop down box you can select a wifi adapter there. You will usually get a better internet connection with a powerline adapter though.

Sorry, so out of the options i can choose from on my build or do i buy that one you linked and do it myself? (is it hard to do? eg needs software or something)



EDIT: oh wow, i just looked at that thing you linked. Does that mean i can use an ethernet cable instead of wifi with that thing for awesome funtimes and faster internet speed than i would have using standard wireless? also i have fibre internet.. does that matter?

With the powerline adapter you plug an ethernet cable into the back of your router and the other end into one of the powerline plugs, and then plug it into a mains socket.

The 2nd plug will connect to the back of your pc's ethernet port and then plug into a mains socket. You then pair the devices (Usually just press a button on the plugs) and away you go. They will work ok with fibre.

Some of the more expensive ones have a built in socket on the front so that you can still use the plug socket for something else.

If you can't physically run an ethernet cable from the router to the pc then a powerline adapter is the 2nd best option imo.
