No earrape intro Crispy clear audio Straight to the content Step by step instructions No unecessary prolongation Overall a very solid tutorial video!

This crispy sound quality!

Just built my first pc and totally forgot to add the network card. Appreciate the video and hope your channel really grows. I also appreciate how clean and organized your wires are, mine is a total mess haha

Plot twist this whole video was to flex his airpods don’t look at the replies there are some scam comment bots

I built my first pc jus to find out I couldn’t connect to WiFi, my router is across the house and I can’t use the Ethernet cable.. thanks for showing this sacred information

"How did Jerry die again?" "He wore socks."

This Kid came prepared with a Mic attached to his shirt. I've never felt more welcomed to a young tutorial. Excellent work. Bright Future!

Thanks, you showed everything really clearly!

Idk why but this kid sounds like he can sell me a Tesla in 5 minutes. Lol great video fella. Thanks.

Great video kid!!! My son and I are trying to build a PC computer for his gaming and we have been going back-and-forth with geek squad and your video literally just saved us a bunch of time and trouble. They didn’t understand what we were trying to tell them about his computer not connecting to the Internet and you made it easy clear and concise. Great job I liked and subscribed😊

This is the first video I've seen who isn't Linus who is actually helpful, knows what he's talking about, and is straight to the point. I just built my first PC and had this problem, thanks for the help

Thanks for this, Nic. I'm another one who builds their own PCs. I'm glad to see that you have a few big fans in your case. Lots of quiet cooling. I'm a big fan (unintentional pun) of "quiet" and I'm a big fan of "cool". Another reason for having WiFi in a PC is to provide another connection to the internet if your main connection drops out. I have a 4G WiFi hotspot that my wife and I use with our laptops when we're traveling, but I never got around to putting WiFi into my PC. The data cost here is very high. But we had a few too many drop-outs today and I've decided that we need to be connected more that we need to worry about a few extra $$. Your video has been very helpful.

Bru I saw the room you where in and I was like oh here we go we gunna here hella echo but then you started talking and I was like damn that’s crispy

Im currently building my first PC, and this video is perfect for beginners! You made it easy to find which wifi card i needed to buy as well as clearly showed how to install it without wasting time with a long intro. Thank you!

Just wanted to give a bit of thanks for this video, I just got a custom PC with a similar casing and this was extra informative for me.

Thank you so much! I got a built pc and I didn’t know about a network card at all. This was the clearest, most understanding direction video I have seen on RU-vid.

I just finished building my first PC and have run into the same issue. Thanks for the video explaining what I have to do next. 😁👍

you, sir, are legendary. I have a custom built pc that I have been using for some years now, it was built by my brother around 2013 (yeah, its starting to get outdated). He gave it to me, and I never needed to use bluetooth for anything on my pc until I got a pair of sony WH-1000XM4's (great bluetooth headphone btw). When I realized that I didnt have bluetooth (couldnt turn it on or off), I immediately went to youtube and watched dozens of videos on how to fix any software problems relating to the matter. I even downloaded the intel bluetooth driver set up maybe 10 times. None of the videos I watched said anything about this being a hardware problem (probably because it was meant for people with laptops or prebuilt pcs). I didnt even realize that I was missing the very component that would let me use bluetooth in my pc. Not only did your video tell me this, you also linked the one you used (which i ordered directly after watching this video), gave us a detailed and precise explanation on where and how to set up the network card, and did so without wasting any time whatsoever.

Great job! I love the fact you actually told people to turn off and unplug the PSU. So many want to take shortcuts and it can be absolutely fatal to a motherboard. It's rare, but I'm just not willing to risk it!

Thank you. I’ve been looking for hours on why I didn’t have WiFi and you’re the only person that actually told me I needed another part

I wish more youtubers had this calm demeanor. Liked and subscribed, very informative video.

I literally did the same thing didn’t even think about Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Lol. Thank you for the video

This video just saved me $100+ on a motherboard. Super straight forward and well explained - Please keep it up and make more content like this!

This was the best video! Even better than the "professional" ones without all the crap. Thank you so much!!!!

thank you so much! i watched so many videos that didn’t help me at all until i stumbled upon yours.

Dude, I appreciate you, man. I just built an amazing system and also didn't know about wifi/Bluetooth on motherboards. So this helps a lot. ty

Built a pc and didn't know about the network card. Stumbled across this vid and it was fab. Thank you so much : )

Geez even after 3 years i find this tutorial helpful, no bs, straight to the point ❤

You described my exact problem! Thank you for the help. And the mic tho 👌

Solid work bro when building my first rig i definitely wasn’t thinking of WiFi I was thinking of budget lol

magnificent tutorial. I was worried about the install of this and even LTT didn't have a clear and concise tutorial readily available. Gonna be purchasing a card now. Thanks, Thinkable!

Thank you for a short but sweet vid. I can’t deal with those RU-vidrs with all the music and attempt at comedy. Easy to follow and you’re not screaming lol. Getting ready to do my install so thank you.

Amazing video. Thanks so much. I have almost the same setup as your pc build so this was super helpful.

About to build my first pc and using a micro ATX that doesn’t use on board WiFi, so I think this will help. Thanks my guy

Just the upgrade my PC needs! Great video,and thank you!

I like your presentation as you don't assume people understand the process by describing the step. But you slowly demonstrate the step, ie where the wifi card should be slotted into. I believed the most important part before the installation is, to power off the system and also ensure the remaining power residue is gone. Bravo. well done. Cheers.

This is so helpful thank you very much man I can finally have bluetooth thx

You are definitely more professional then the other people I was watching

You've literally saved me time and $ with one video. Thank you so much for the great explanation 🙂

Damn you a god that is the exact one I got thanks so much, I have been looking for videos about this and this was perfect, thanks so much

Barely Watched 5 mins , looked for the PCI E port and bought that shit thank you for the video ! Made it super easy.

Need more RU-vidrs like this guy. Straight to the point, informative and speaks proper English 😂👌 nice vid bro

Even though you have a small audience on your channel, I'm amazed at the recommendations said at the beginning of the video. Almost no one talks about possible electrocution or component fires during installation. Great content, buddy!

could u please make a video on how to build a full pc from scratch? i rlly like how you explain everything, its just so clear! tysm for this video, really helpful! :D

You took my no socks tip lol nice!

wow.... I have been searching for a solution to my bluetooth problem for more than 5 hours now. Tried to intall new drivers, got a dongle adapter and tried many other solutions only to now find this video and realise I dont have a network card. Thanks for the video, you're my hero from saving me from this bluetooth hell

YOUR THE BEST FOR REAL MAN SAVED ME A TON. I was worried about this situation when getting a PC.

Wow, just realized I have the same Network Card already inside my new pc. MSI supplied its own antenna which is magnetic and sits on top. Bad Bluetooth problem fixed! Thanks!

Typically you either buy a motherboard with wifi and pay the extra or you buy a cheaper motherboard and pay for wifi later. In general, I don't think you did anything wrong. There is an advantage in buying a separate wifi card, especially if you upgrade the motherboard often. The same wifi card can be used when upgrading, thus reducing the overall cost of having to buy the wifi each time you upgrade the mobo. Overall, some people like to have everything on the motherboard so that they don't have to deal with additional work and compatibility, while others like the freedom of picking their favored product for each feature and not have to be locked in by the motherboard product. I think you did fine with everything but that is jmo.

You gave me the confidence to install this! Thanks for the help.

I purchased a motherboard that was windows 11 ready not wifi ready but this video really helped a lot thank you

Amazing! You're so freaking cool 😘💜

can't tell if he's 40 or 12

I didn't realize why my computer had no wifi/bluetooth until I found this, you are so freaking clutch

thanks nic its my first time to buy a pc and i dont know how to put a wifi card, your video is helping me alot by straight into the point and demonstration, thanks!

Hey really informative video man. Is it possible to see a photo of the antennas and how big they are?

HyperCube Your The Best!

im a little surprised that so many people and people much smarter than i am have had the same issue as me. it took me a good 5 hours to figure out the computer i had built for me just didnt have the hardware for wifi and bluetooth. i thought i just had a setting off somewhere or something, so i installed a bluetooth driver off the manufacturer website about 4 times and ran all kinds of troubleshooters on my system before i almost took a bat to the whole thing....I should get rid of the bat because its my go to for my final solution every time but theres nothing left to do after that option left to do but buy it again. thanks for the tip in the beginning about the power and electrocuting the computer components that actually helped when i heard it put that way instead of just hearing i should do it. i look forward to future videos. Thank You

wow i honestly thought installing a wifi/bluetooth card would be a lot more complicated! thanks for the tutorial man. think i might pick one up now

He was like the Flash takin those screws off 😂

Took me a while to realize that he has the same motherboard as me lmao

I have the SAME tower with the SAME issue w the motherboard. Super happy I found your video dude.

I was looking for a proper how to, many thanks, will do it today.

OMG YOU SAVED MY LIFE I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A WHOLE NEW MOTHERBOARD WITH WIFI😭😭

When I say I learn something new about PCs every day. I’m mean EVERY day

take a moment to repect how good this tutorial is

This was truly clear and precise . thank you

great video does that case come with fans? because i bought it . and how’s the airflow

can you post the link of the network card you used!!!

Exactly what I was looking for. Great video 👌🏽

Thanks man. My PC was made for me, so I was upset once I found out I didnt have bluetooth or Wifi. Your video was really easy to follow. I was worried I would need to be some computer head to fix this, and I was ready to settle for bluetooth dongles. Thanks again man :)

Do you like this specific wifi card have you had any problems? I am thinking of getting a wifi card because I don’t have an Ethernet solution

I try to pay attention but the sound quality keeps distracting me😩

Hey Nic, I'm getting one myself and thanks to your video now I know how I'd get this installed. Thanks for sharing man. Much appreciated.

I’m glad it’s just a simple installment, but now I have to order one of these cards putting my PC on hold

When you build a pc do you need this to connect to the wifi or is it already built in to the card plz answer

This.................................................. was amazing. i was clueless on how to enable wifi for my future custom build. You reallly helped me out. Edit: WTH where are the anttenna supposed to go pls respond. Edit 2: OMG i am so freaking stupid. pls don't make fun of me lol i am literally dumb

you saved me bro,,, first pc and I had no clue that you had to buy freaking wifi and screw into the pc, thought I had missing adapters or drivers, been installing sh+t for days now, thank u!

I haven't built my own PC yet but I'm finding the components i want and coming across this video really helps🙏

i have an ethernet cable, and i dont have bluetooth so do i just have to buy a bluetooth adapter?

Do you have to install any drivers or something? I’m new to PC building I’m building my first one in a couple months Edit oh never mind I watched the end

Nice laid back simple approach.....thanks for the video

Hell yeah man fixing to build my first pc glad I found this vid

What motherboard are you using? im building a pc and want to buy this one

I really need help!!!I’ve just got done building my pc only to find out I need WiFi. I have a xfinity router. Will this WiFi adapter connect. If not can someone tell me what I need to look for?

Having to add one of these soon and thought it was gonna he different.. awesome tutorial!!

Very nice video, man! My motherboard has the same lack of Bluetooth and Wi-fi, so when I get to finally buying a network card I'll be referencing your guide during installation. Thanks a lot for the quality content :)

This is extremely helpful especially because you got the same motherboard as me.

this was really helpful! im looking into building my own PC, but couldn't find a mobo with wifi and bluetooth that I liked. the network card seems like a better alternative in the longrun, incase i ever change/upgrade my mobo. great vid!
