IEEE Ratifies 802.11n Wireless LAN Specification

I had a DLink G Router awhile ago and it wasnt as good as my Netgear WPN-824 Rev2, I guess they turned things around with the N Routers. I wont go with Linksys because i had a WRT-54GS Rev5 which was garbage.

Yeah, I had a low model D-Link G router back in the day that was an utter POS. They definitely turned around since then. They started making the turn around when they released their DGL-4300 "Gamerlounge" G router with Gb ports.
 
Ya what was the PCI card that you have that is Wireless N?
 
you have any other recommendations? Such as from Trendnet or Intellinet?
 
Sorry, don't really know a whole lot about the PCI cards. I just bought what was N Draft 2.0 and cheapest at the time. lol.
 
the others that i stated look very similar
 
Trendnet's are usually inexpensive.
I haven't had any problems with the ones I have had.

Bear in mind Im in a 2 Story Place, the Router is on the first floor and is technically not mine (my roommates) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124319

I'm looking for the above to replace a Suspected Driver Flawed Netgear Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter (NDIS.sys BSOD on fresh OS install= unacceptable)

Some of those models are on Frys, Newegg, and Directron.

Directron and Frys are within convenience to me due to driving myself.

I never liked USB adapters. Never did have very good luck with them. My Encore doesn't even need drivers for Win 7, so that may be something to consider. It uses a RaLink RT2800 chipset.

hmm i wonder if that chip is used in many of the products i provided links on
 
Nice the Intellinet uses this chipset

RaLink RT2860+RT2820

SInce it works well for you whats the range you have your equipment at if i may ask?

By range, what do you mean specifically? That question could go a couple of different ways in reference to wireless technologies.

ok how many feet are your devices away from eachother, bear in mind my reception will be going thru a ceiling/door since the router is on the first floor.
 
Well, the router is 2 stories below my Encore card, and I get 65-75% signal strength, and 270Mbps (rated by windows, not measured) throughput on average.
 
crap, the Intellinet i was looking at is sold out at directron.

Trendnet, TP-Link and D-Link are the only others, Im not sure what chipset they use tho
