I'm looking to add WiFi capability to my PC, which I built without any built-in WiFi. I'm considering a PCIe WiFi card to solve my problem, but I don't have a disc drive to install any drivers. Currently, I'm using an Ethernet connection, but I'll be in a place shortly where I won't have access to a wired connection due to the router's placement. Do you have any recommendations for WiFi cards?

If you can, just stick with Ethernet! But if WiFi is your only option, you really have to go with a card that fits your needs.
I recommend the Aorus GC-WBAX210; it has WiFi 6 and works really well! If you want the latest tech, there's also a GCWifi7 version available.
Why does not having a disc drive matter? I personally don't have specific recommendations for WiFi cards since I generally avoid WiFi where I can. Most of my devices, except for my phone and some ESP32 boards, are wired.
I get why you'd prefer wired. Unfortunately, I can't stick with it for a few weeks, which is why I need a card.
