In Lesson 3 we will install a PCI Card wireless network adapter into our Livingroom computer. We show how to open different computer cases. We show how to indentify the PCI or PCI Express expansion slots and the procedure for installing the wireless network adapter into an open PCI expansion slot. Just like in Lesson 2 we show how to install the configuration software that comes with the adapter. We will get the computer connected to the router and on the Internet in Section 4.

  • I can't seem to find your section 4 hooking up USB to the router

  • @infowaredm Sections 4 and 5 are only available on our website. Home PC Builder dot com

  • couldnt you just use a usb wireless adapter instead ?

  • @defbound24 Yes you can use a USB wireless adapter instead of an add-on card. Section 2, Lesson 2 shows how to install a USB wireless adapter.

  • Hey man :D I was just wondering if you could help me? I have recently bought a wireless PCI card for my Desktop. I installed it no problem with the help of your guide. However My desktop doesnt seem to pick it up even after I've installed the drivers, on closer inspection the LED on the back of the card arnt lighting up (No power?) do you think there is a problem with the card its self?

  • @VolvicTwist What model card is it and what model computer/motherboard do you have?

  • THX MAN HELPED !!!

  • @rrgert4 You can install the card and then the drivers. If Windows does have one built in it will ask for it and then you have to point Windows to the drivers which can be difficult to find. By installing the drivers for you skip that step and it makes the process easier.

  • @hpcbdvd I just got a call from the computer shop.

    the motherboard got a short circuit because the power supply was broken.

  • @hpcbdvd The Pci-slot was already broken but I didn't know that.

  • @hpcbdvd Whole motherboard is dead :\
