Can I get a really good wifi PCI slot.

Like if my desktop is at a location, with wifi, can I connect to the internet and game and stuff?


Thanks
 
That also depends on your WiFi router or hotspot. N is the best format out there, but if you have an N card and a G router, then the extra boost from the N does nothing for you. I hope this is what you were asking, it's a little unclear... :)
 
Is there a generally fast card, thats compatible will popular routers.

If needed, Ill go check the router down the hall, that Ill be connected to.


And this wont interfere when I am connected through an Ethernet to a router.


It's mainly going to be used for when I am hosting LAN parties down the hall, there is a free provided wifi router, so Id connect to that when not connected to a router for wired internet.

Thanks
 
Any 802.11 a/b/g wireless card is compatible with any 802.11 a/b/g router, since they are all standardized. 802.11n however isnt a standard, and I have yet to see a public hotspot that has 802.11n, so you would need the same manufacturer router/AP and wireless card for it to be guaranteed to work.

And everyone connecting via WiFi for a LAN party is a very bad idea, especially if there are alot of people playing.
 
We will have a wired internet connection that is connected to the server.
The os I am using puts my server on a DNS opposed to AT&T's so it will be faster.


But I would like to go on wifi there to.

It'll probably only be me on the wifi.

Thanks
 
We have about 3 desktops in my house and 2 of which are on wireless pci cards, just as fast as wired no downfall to my knowledge, been running them for about 3 years now. btw they are Linksys cards...ohh and you should be able to connect and play games ect. with a "hotspot"
 
Can I see the best, most compatible, fastest card.
With an external antenna, cause I like the way it looks.
But if its better, internal.


Under $100 I can go to $120 if needed or something.


Thanks
 
What type are you looking for? The 802.11g?

If you're connecting to public hotspots and such, then any, and I mean any external 802.11g wireless card will get the same signal and speed.

And $120 for a wireless card? Come on, they are under $30!
