I am getting a computer and I need a USB wireless adapter for

A review says "There is NOT enough room to install a network card, the card will overlap the graphics card cooler fan which is not a good thing to do." Do I need something special or just plug a router in?

I mean, I don't know how to code or even put a computer together anon but for fucks sake
You can't possibly be this stupid
A USB wireless adapter means your computer doesn't have a built-in WiFi card
It's an adapter that plugs into a port on your computer which in turn connects to your router and therefore the internet
In other words
>Computer cannot into internet
>No built-in internet
>USB Adapter plug it in
>Internet yaaay

No. You're a retard.

If you want you computer to be able to connect to WiFi you need to have a wireless adapter. This can come built in, or it can be attached via USB.

A router is something different. Normally this is the box the internet people setup in your house. Its the thing that provides you with wireless internet to connect to.

So to be clear, you are at the level that you don't know the difference between a USB wireless adapter and a router? How are you currently connected to the internet?

Use an Ethernet cord.

If you're too retarded for that, a USB wireless adapter is simply an external wireless card that you plug into your computer, which connects to your router.

Going to be getting a new router and modem. For router was thinking the Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 or the AC2600.

What's a good modem? I really don't know much about this stuff. I see that Amazon recommends the CM500 or CM700. Thoughts?

Sorry if I sound like a retard, just want opinions before purchasing.

It connects your pc to a wireless router, it requires driver, usually found on the disc that you get when you buy one of these adapters.
