recommend a good pci wireless card for UK

[regan1985]

i am looking to buy a new pci wirless card as my dlink 802.11b just can not handle 8mb broadband.also i have a usb stick which should be long rang but i only get two bars signal so i could do with one that comes with a big antena

i am currenly using a netgear 834gt with a customer big antena so if you feel a netgear card will work better then say!

also another point the reason i want to get a pci card is because i find then tend not to loose connection or overheat

so please say what you think cheers

so is your router 'G' compatible
if it is i can find you one

im in the market for a new wireless adapter, for me at least id like a pci card since they dont overheat and are hidden away and sometimes faster

MSI PC60G-F 108M Wireless PCI Adapter with eXtended RangeTM and Super G, Atheros,2.4GHz, 802.11g/b

Belkin F5D7001UK 125g Wireless PCI Adapter

The Belkin a little faster but a little dearer. Im assuming the Belkin does B wireless also since the MSI does G/B

Belkin costs £18.92 has a 60m range
MSI costs £11.62 has 400m range

both inc vat

anyone looked into the 802.11N which says can go upto 300mb i would be happy with 54 , i mean at the moment i get 2-6on my dlink card and 12mb on my long range wirless usb stick which says it should go upto 108mb

i mean i wonder if something like this should do the job and get me a better signal and be a little more future proof even if my router can only support 108mb max

Both work in my experience. Better software with the edimax. 300 mbps with the netgear.

if your router cant support N there isnt really much point in getting an N card even if it does G/B too

Ralink is good in linux apparently but honestly the MSI i listed is a little faster than the Edimax (ralink)
