I overspent on setting up my PC. Mistake! I forgot to install a wireless card, thinking it would be wired. Now I’m in another apartment and the router is behind a wall I can’t cut through. The fix? A lengthy Ethernet cable. But my partner doesn’t like having a cord everywhere. Can you recommend a good wireless internet solution? I’ve checked a few budget picks on Amazon—one with drivers on a CD that won’t work because my PC lacks a CD-ROM drive, and another that claims the driver isn’t compatible with Windows 10 Home. I need a reliable option so I can get rid of the cord soon.

Check the model number on that item and save the drivers online. Visit the Amazon site for possible links. Alternatively, purchase a replacement from a reputable brand to ensure driver compatibility.

Andrei and Catsrule collected a Wi-Fi 6 card using an AX200 for 50 CAD. Thanks!
