So, I got this new desktop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium a few months ago. It does not have a wireless card (I knew this going in). Now I would like to buy one and either have someone put it in or do it myself. So I have two questions:
1. What features and specifications do I need to consider for the wireless card? I would like to set up a full-blown home wireless network. I have Comcast cable high-speed internet with cable modem and wireless router.
2. Is it fairly simple to install the wireless card myself? The PC has the following expansion slots:
1xPCIe x16
3xPCIe x1
1x mini-PCIe
2x Sata 3
2x Sata 2
I guess the Sata’s are for hard drives and such, but the PCIe’s should be usable. I would like to reserve one PCIe for a future USB 3.0. During the install of the wireless card, do I have to worry about static electricity?
Would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks!
