Wifi card

[adator]

Hi, I haven't had much luck with the built in wifi on the ASUS® P8Z77-V it drops out all the time and was wondering if I could install one of these TP-LINK TL-WDN3800 N600 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter and if so do I need to disable the built in wifi on the motherboard.

Thanks

Looking at it it should definitely fit as my motherboard has some PCI E ports so its just a question of if the built in wifi will interrupt it?

You can disable the on board adapter in device manager.

You can disable the on board adapter in device manager.

It shouldn't be a problem having two wifi adapters, as long as they're not both connected at the same time (although even then you probably won't notice). If you don;t plan to use the old one though it would be wise to disable it as SpyderTracks says, just to be sure.

I have two wifi adapters and it's not an issue.
