[SOLVED] No room on the motherboard for a wireless card

[beachgator]

My son's motherboard only has one PCIe slot which he has placed his graphics card. We need to place a wireless card in the system. Any suggestions?

An USB based adapter: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=usb+wi+fi+adapter&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ausb+wi+fi+adapter
Try selecting one based on budget and reviews (something like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GVDTXRZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2KR2FPOLD5FE0&psc=1 )

Thanks for the suggestion. I knew that a USB option was available, but I wanted to see if something else was out there.

No problem.
Apart from integrated, PCI/PCIe and USB? Not sure what else...

What motherboard do you have?

MSI B450M GAMING PLUS AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard.
The only slot was taken up by his video card.

Unless his card is a 3 slot card this would work in his lower PCI-e X1 slot
