Reuse a network card?

[SaltyCocaine]

Pretty much as the title says. Will I be able to reuse a network card on a new motherboard. The Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ATX LGA1151 motherboard to be exact.

Also this network card is very old. Like maybe 8-9 years old xD.
By network card I mean wireless adapter

depnds on if it's a PCI card, and your new motherboard doesn't have a PCI slot, than no.

So you want to spend good money on a overclocked i5 or i7 rig and then use an old wireless g ethernet card in it?

Do you have any suggestions on some decent ones that won't kill my wallet 🙂

Can you tell me what a budget number is, to some people $18 is killing wallet and for others $60 card is totally do able.

The best option is to not use wifi at all.
Either hardware direct to router via ethernet (by far the best option)
or use a powelrine network adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-1000Mbps-TL-PA7020-KIT/dp/B01EE9APYS
The av500 model will get you real world about 60-70 mbps (to the router, no idea what intenret connection you have).
