Best wireless "DESKTOP" card ?

512mb · 05-11-2008, 10:05 PM

Hey guys!

Just another quick question, which wireless desktop card have you had good success with? Now I searched newegg and read numerous reviews, mostly all of the products were 1-3 eggs only. Now I understand that 1/2 the people were expecting miracles once they connected it so I really didnt pay much attention to the reviews. However I was wondering if anyone has some good suggestions or even reviews regarding some networking cards. Any and all feed back is better than nothing! Also if nothing seems to pan out, being hardwired to the router isnt so bad after all.

Thanks again!

Yeah, just get something cheap. All that hype about faster connections and wider ranges is a bunch of crap. This is mine, which works through two walls and hasn't dropped its connection yet:

I got it from Fry's for 25 bucks.

I did this because I didn't feel like getting one online, the one posted above is cheaper and has a lot of good reviews; I'd get that.
