[g4m3rof1337]

I am looking for a good USB WiFi adapter for my laptop, this one is a PC, if it works on Mac, thats fine to. But I mainly want to boost my PC Laptops signal.


Budget: Under $100

linkseys wireless N USB adapter
cost: $ 69.99 at circuit city

i would go with notebook PCI card though, because not a lot of voltage goes through a USB port therefore the signal is lower than if a notebook PCI card is used

hope i helped!

Hmm..

How can I find the right PCI card for the laptop, or does it matter.



And I'll be able to connect to different kinds of routers, right?



Thanks.

Does your laptop have a PCMCIA slot?

It has a PCMCIA Type-II PC Card slot.




Thanks.

Well you could just get a Wireless PCMCIA card then.

Yeah? Alright, I didnt want to risk it not fitting or something.



Got any recommendations?



Thanks.

Linksys are always good. What kind of router do you have (B, G, N)?

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Not sure, we're still using the ATT DSL Router, I am on my Cable Modem for a wired connection.


I want something that can connect to multiple routers, so older ones and newer ones.

Look on ebay, you should be able to find a good deal on a PCMCIA wireless card on there.
