Built in wifi?

[Christine]

Anyone know if the Asus Z87-C board has a built in wifi?

The Deluxe verison has wifi, but you could probably save some money by going for a wireless PCI-E adapter (DONT get a USB one)

Why not a USB?

Why not a USB?

Had a USB one and it broke. A PCI-E one may take up a slot but it's a lot more stable.

No problem

Without knowing which particular PCI-E wifi card and which particular USB wifi adapter you're talking about, there's absolutely no way to say that one is faster, better or more stable.

I've used both types and had great results from either.

But still she shouldn't go with a USB.

+1 to this.

I've had mixed experiences with both, but at the end of the day, get whichever is most convenient for you.

Generally, one is not 'better' than the other. 'Better' is relative anyway.

My perference is USB > PCI-E

Since my pc usually putting under desk/ corner against wall, the signal is a lot weaker than I using usb extension and place the adaptor on the desk.
