Wireless adapter for Optiplex 3010

[Turingalad]

Trying to make my computer wifi capable. It has no wireless hardware as is.

The Pcie x1 & x16 slots are empty.

Can I use a USB 2.0 Wireless WiFi Lan Card?

Or do I need something like a PCI express wireless wifi card?

Dell Optiplex 3010
Windows 7
BIOS A10

Thanks.

Personally I would get a usb2 wifi adapter and a usb extension cable. Then stick the adapter onto the wall behind and above the pc case.

What is protocol is your router using? (b,g,n...)

Ummm... Good question. It's TP-Link AC1750

You mean just a USB adapter like this?http://www.bestbuy.com/site/j5-create-wireless-n-usb-2-0-mini-adapter-black/8755765.p?skuId=8755765&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=4b2f1de3-409c-4e05-9f0f-928753214c44&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg199260&ksdevice=m&lsft=ref:212,loc:2

And thats all that my setup would need to get wifi?

So I think it's AC protocol...
