Question about Wi-Fi adapter

Hello,
I have recently built a pc and notice that pc doesn't have Wi-Fi card or not capable for Wi-Fi. I have tried to use ether net cables but cable doesn't fit the door frames. Does anyone have recommendations on Wi-Fi adapters? Thank you

    Have you thought of trying Powerline Ethernet. 

     

    It turns the mains circuit into an ersatz Ethernet network. If your mains circuit isn't too "noisy", it can be faster and more reliable than wifi.

     


    Does anyone have recommendations on Wi-Fi adapters?

    If it a roll your own PC, and you have an empty PCI-e slot, I'd forget about USB, which is what Netgear makes.

     

    I use a Wavlink WiFi 6E Tri-band AX3000 PCI-E Adapter.
