I've never bought anything other than cheap ones from amazon. This is the one I've bought several of recently.

Sorry, I meant to say Usb https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01M0Q51UI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526525158&sr=8-2-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wifi+adapter&psc=1

Get your self something like this for playing with Kali.

Install a wireless card, you mean? Like this.

yes, it is a powered USB hub, was worried that with the wifi, IR adapter and a USB stick it was too much power for the Pi, I bought it from amazon canada

oops I added two by accident. Will this adapter work?

Because it has no brand or idk what brand it is.

And another question: will I need to add more case fans? or the provided ones are ok from the case.

And how good is the mother board at only 60$, will it allow future graphic card upgrades?

Will this do?

How old is your laptop? What version of Microsoft are you on (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10)?

Because you are the only one affected it may be a circumstance where your laptop operating system or the Wifi card (internal Wifi antenna) are straight up malfunctioning.

What happens when you try to connect? Does it say that your connection failed? Does it say that you are connected but with no internet?

After trying to connect you can try to right click on the Wifi status in the bottom right of your task bar and select "Troubleshoot Problems". This wizard is pretty straight forward and will do a software reset of your Wifi Card if it thinks that there is a problem. If the problem persists you can get an external Wifi card for rather cheap[Example].

As for restarting your router, a power cycle should not affect the settings that were changed - think about what happens if the power goes out for example, everything comes back on like normal when the power does. He maybe confused by the terms the support rep used or maybe the rep thought your dad meant to hard reset the modem by the button on the back (most have them but I can't say for certain about your unit)(ALSO, do not touch this button).

Let me know if you have questions or if you try any of the things I suggested; I would be interested to know what works!

I built my computer without a wifi adapter because I had direct access to a router. Since then I've moved to a house with shared wifi and I no longer have direct access, so I've been using phones or other devices on wifi and tethering them to the PC. This works ok for downloads and streaming but when i try playing online games like Rocket League I experience low ping (30-50ms) but still a lot of lag due to what I assume is packet loss.

Is the best option for me to buy a wifi adapter like this:

Or to buy a card along the lines of this:
https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Adapter/dp/B0079XWMEI/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1493994588&sr=1-9

I haven't done any research into the products themselves im more curious if the shortcut of simply buying a USB adapter will address my issues.

First, I changed the motherboard to a b450 one and though it doesn't come with wifi, I'd recommend just getting a cheap WiFi adaptor from Amazon like this: https://www.amazon.ca/WISE-TIGER-Adapter-600Mbps-Wireless/dp/B01M0Q51UI/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2ULZAU1R517AR&keywords=wifi+antenna+for+pc&qid=1564007425&s=gateway&sprefix=wifi+ante%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-3

I also upgraded the cpu to a 3600 because there is a big performance improvement in games compared to 2nd gen. Since 3rd gen ryzen loves 3600mhz ram, I upgraded that too. It doesn't have rgb, but if you want that you can try this kit for more money: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/6jBTwP/gskill-trident-z-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-16gtzrx

The graphics card was changed to a 5700 XT because it's not only faster then the 2060 super, but is faster than even the 2070 Super in most cases according to Userbenchmark. However, I'd recommend waiting a little for the 3rd party non-blower cards. Finally, I got a psu (still +80 gold and fully modular) that was cheaper and less overkill for your system at a wattage of 550 for a system that's only using 399.

Just a PSA for people:

I have had a lot of success with the cheap, Chinese-branded, goofy-looking wifi-adapters also sold on Amazon.

This one, for example, is $20: https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-600Mbps-Wireless-Antenna-Support/dp/B01M0Q51UI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511807499&sr=8-3&keywords=wifi+adapter

You're going to want one with the antenna on it (I bought one of this tiny USB ones as well and it doesn't work well at all).

I have played games using these wifi adapters and it works fine even another floor of the house.

I actually bought a wifi card too because I'm currently too far to run an ethernet cable (working on it).
I believe it connects to one of the PCI-E slots on your MOBO.
I bought this wifi card and will follow this video when installing it.
There are some wifi adapters that connect through USB, though. I'm currently using this one on my laptop while I wait for the final parts of my build to come in. I needed it to connect to 5G networks because my ASUS K55N is too old.xD

I personally just got this one for $35 US as a warehouse deal and it works amazing. It has the same speed as wired with almost the same ping. And it has better speed/ping than using a powerline adapter. Although this is using my old router's antanaes. Not sure how it performs with the stock ones. Probably almost exactly the same.

As far as what you actually need/want I would assume something like this would probably suit you just fine and would likely work just as well. Or this one which may get better performance.

Edit: Put in Amazon.ca link for first one
