Wireless pci card

Just moved home and got a netgear router from Virgin, can anyone recommend a good wireless pci card as the pc I use upstairs for gaming is getting a poor signal with the usb adapter.
cheers

Re: Wireless pci card

I believe that the Netgear router is fitted with a removable antenna. You can buy a high gain antenna from Maplin which should improve matters especuially if assisted by siting your router in as high a position as possible and away from blockages such as shelves.

USB adapters can be put on the end of a USB extender cable since just a few inches can make a heck of a difference.

Otherwise, I've found the Belkin PCI-e wireless adapter to be efficient - and I have similar problems in my house.

Re: Wireless pci card

you could try and mess with the settings. Change the defualt broadcast channel there are loads to test often it can be as simple as that
