I built a PC… and forgot about Wi-Fi.

Tech Support

So… I bought all the parts for my dream PC and had someone else put it together.
I don’t know much about hardware (clearly) and apparently I thought Wi-Fi just came… built-in? Like magic? Nope. My PC has no Wi-Fi card.

Now I’m stuck using this sad little USB TP-Link adapter for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and it disconnects almost daily. I want to buy the proper component to give my PC internet, but I don’t even know where to start.

It has 1TB storage (yes, I thought this was the most important spec) but sometimes when I’m working with a bunch of tabs, it freezes and shows ghost images of the previous tab over the one I’m trying to use. Takes forever to update the screen.

I paid almost $700 for this machine and didn’t even get Wi-Fi.
tell me how to fix my life please
