    hi there, I recently bought a gaming PC that was made up from a German site. The PC is great, but unfortunately didn't come with a wifi card. I think I just forgot to include it when I was building it from the site.

    Can anyone recommend something I could add? Ideally a card that can be used for Wifi and bluetooth. I have a decet Fibre (1Gbt) connection to the house, but it's a bit awkard to use cables to his room.

    The recommendation around here (and I agree) is always to use powerline/homeplugs if you can before resorting to wifi.

    Thanks. I have this currently set up (plugged into repeater), but I don't think there's bluetooth on the PC, so could I get some card to add for this?

    If its just bluetooth just grab a cheap USB dongle for it. I have and haven't had any issues connecting anything (2 headsets, speakers, mouse and xbox controllers)

    IF you already have a wifi connection then a cheap bluetooth dongle should do . If you dont then you can get a WIFI and bluetooth card from amazon.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FSG5W9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    IT works out at about €20 from the uk site .
