Wireless card for Optiplex AIO 7470
Hello community,
I just bought an Optiplex AIO 7470 from the outlet store and it did not come with an installed wireless card.
I wonder if anyone can tell me the Dell part number to order the correct wireless card? I just want to make sure I buy something that is compatible with the system.
Thank you.
Wayne

This is plug and play. It just works.

@WayneFB Dell sells a variety of adapters. Have a look:

Some are pricey, some quite reasonable, but you'll have to decide what meets your needs.

@donm4599x @speedstep
Thanks for the quick reply. I should have been more specific. The person for whom I'm buying has specified that he wants an internal card. I think there may be an issue with the number of available USB ports (there's only 5 of the old variety).
I know that if you order a new Optiplex 7470 you can choose between two wireless cards, so presumably they have a Dell P/N. I'm in Australia and Dell doesn't sell USB adapters, but if it does come to that I know where to get one.
If there's no joy on a Dell P/N for a wireless card does anyone know whether a stock standard Intel card such as the one linked to below would work?
