GA-F2A88X-D3H mobo

Hi, have GA-F2A88X-D3H mobo running Win 7 pro.
I use a IP8750 Canon printer and Virgin media router box all 'wired', I want to get rid of the wire and go WI-FI.

So,  can I use a WI-FI PCI card, can't see why not but thought I'd better ask first just to be sure..... this machine is what I built and running it with a A6-5400  APU (no graphic card), running fine for my use.

You should be able to use a PCIe Wi-Fi card but, as you are running Windows 7, you might have issues finding a suitable driver.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

What about a PCI card, can I use one of them?

Again yes, but there is still the driver issue that you might face.

Many thanks for the response, I'll have a 'root and toot' at the cards n' drivers.
