wireless card slot on Mobo?

[kechiki]

Hello everyone,

I will be getting a new fibre broadband (finally) and realized that my LAN cable doesn't work anymore.

I am currently using a ASRock B75M-DGS mobo,

ASRock > B75M-DGS

Just wondering if I can put any wireless card in or I have to use a USB one?

Why not replace your bad LAN cable instead?

Wifi adapters come in both PCIE card and USB dongle form. But PCIE tends to be more expensive.

Depends on whether you prefer to conserve USB or PCIE slot.

i was told fibre broadband doesn't use the LAN cable anymore, but need another type of cable?

If it's your LAN cable that's faulty, u should definitely replace it and stick with LAN connection instead of wireless..

Better connection, i feel. Play games also won't dc and cause team to lose. Hahaha

Usually fibre broadband will go through a gateway(like router) to make use of the optical signal via an optic cable. From the gateway,you can connect via LAN cable direct to your PC or router.

The internet provider that you signed up for will do the gateway connection for you

get those wireless card with 9dbi antenna , so that it extend the signal. there is another shorter type of antenna which is no so good

ohh.. if lan cable works then should be alright! my lan cable is working perfectly fine

Even if your LAN cable is working correctly and it's your motherboard LAN that's a problem, u should still not easily move to wireless. There is such a thing as PCI-E or PCI LAN card. Only move to wireless card if u need to avoid lengthy cables.

Still use Ethernet LAN cable to connect your wireless router to your ONT gateway, and other computers to your wireless router. Note the blue line.

You need 9dbi on the host and client, simply "enlarging"the client to 9dbi won't help if the host (AP) is only 2dbi.

WIFI antenna power per unit surface is not determine by it lenght of the antenna. If you connect a 4 inches pipe to the incoming 1' pipe, will you get 4inches worth of output from the 1" incoming source?

Only the connection from fibre point and ONT requires fibre cable. The rest still can use LAN

And only LAN can provide best throughput. Wireless/powerline can be very inefficient.
