I'm looking to set up my gaming PC, which has an RTX 4070 Ti. I need to know how to connect it to the internet. I've heard that some motherboards come with WiFi built-in, and I've also been told I could use a USB WiFi adapter. Can someone explain how each option works and what I need to do?

If your motherboard doesn’t have WiFi capabilities and you’re leaning toward a USB WiFi adapter, that's a solid choice. Look for ones labeled as WiFi 6—they're often the best option for speed. Just search for 'WiFi 6 USB dongle' online, and I can help check compatibility if you find one.
Don't stress too much, your GPU won't affect how your motherboard connects to the internet. After setting everything up, just make sure to install the latest drivers for your network interface, which Windows can usually find automatically. If not, you can grab them from the manufacturer’s site.
You're right about the options! If you choose a motherboard with WiFi, you'll usually find antennas in the box, and just install the drivers from the manufacturer's website. If you go with a USB WiFi adapter, make sure to pick one with antennas for better range—those work really well! Just plug it into a USB port, install the drivers, and you’ll be good to go.
Thanks, I’ll look it up!
