Add WLAN to old pc

    My parents have got their broadband upgraded and the wired connection no longer comes into the office, rather the front of the house.

    Turns out their desktop (which I built many years ago) doesn't have onboard Wifi.

    I want to add a wifi card but I haven't done anything like this in years - could anyone confirm is a standard PCI wlan card compatible in this instance and anywhere I can get one in Dublin as they are stuck without internet at the moment.

    Board appears to be a M5 A78L-MLE: https://www.asus.com/me-en/motherboards-components/motherboards/others/m5a78lm_leusb3/techspec/
