Wireless adapters allow desktop computers to connect to the internet and other CPUs without cables. They send data using radio waves to routers that pass it on to internal networks or broadband modems. While most tablet computers and laptops have built-in wireless capabilities, you can install them on your desktop. Before adding an adapter to your office desktop and establishing a wireless network, the kind of WiFi® adapter you need must match your requirements.

A Network Adapter for Every Application

Laptops, desktops and servers in your data center all have different networking needs. A wireless USB adapter is a tiny external model that provides plug-and-play WiFi convenience for use by frequent travelers. A PCMCIA wireless adapter plugs into a notebook’s PCMCIA slot, with the thicker end containing an internal wireless antenna protruding slightly. Install a mini PCI interface adapter inside the laptop for the same wireless functionality as built-in adapters. Plug PCI and PCIe® interface wireless cards directly into free corresponding slots on the computer or server motherboard. USB adapters are easy to swap between computers without shutting down, while most PCIe wireless adapters are half-height to reduce the space they use inside a computer case.

Stream HD Video and Game Online With Faster Wireless Speeds

If you are a heavy video streamer, use a wireless network card to complete system specifications for the fastest internet speeds. An external transceiver allows positioning high-performance and multi-directional antennas outside the computer chassis. They come with some wireless adapters for optimal signal reception and less interference. Many adapters provide dual-band support, with up to 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band or 2,402 Mbps on the 5GHz band for buffer-free streaming or video chatting. Look for an adapter that supports WiFi CERTIFIED 6™ technology so you can take full advantage of 802.11ax wireless routers for faster file transmission.

Backward Compatibility Allows Connection to Wireless Networks

Wireless adapters support IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b/g/n and 802.11ac transmission standards for consistent performance when used with existing wireless switches and routers. Models that support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies make it easier to achieve a stable connection, even in the presence of a possible source of interference. Some models accept wireless accessories like high-gain detachable antennas for better performance.

Create a Wireless Digital Media Center With Bluetooth

Some PCI/PCIe wireless adapters include Bluetooth® functionality for convenient pairing with wireless peripherals, like headsets, mice, keyboards and printers. Bluetooth 5.0 allows playing audio on two different audio devices at the same time. The technology also supports streaming two audio services simultaneously, so connected devices can play different pieces of music from the same source. Another option for adding wireless functionality is using Bluetooth adapters for transferring files quickly between compatible devices.

Multiple Operating Systems Support Wireless Adapters

Microsoft®, Windows® and Apple® OS X® support an extensive range of PCIe adapters, with no additional driver or software requirements. Most wireless networking adapter manufacturers offer drivers for Unix® and Linux™ compatibility. All products conform to industry standards for interoperability between different networked devices.
