Networks Wireless N PCI-E x1 Card

Hi
As in title, can anyone recommend a decent wireless n PCIe card. Nothing too expensive, assuming the slightly cheaper ones aren't rubbish.

not this! woeful performance had to use the drivers from realtek as the links on edimax site must have been done by monkeys as they dont work. http://www.realtek.com/downloads/do...230&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true had to use the RTL8192SE driver. please dont purchase as the performance will really piss you off

 

See that's the sort of thing I'm hoping to avoid. Given their price, I think I may as well stick with the dongle I'm using until I see a good deal on an N router.
Cheers for the replies anyway

 

I actually have that one, and before that i had a dongle. The dongle was plain unreliable and it annoyed me. The one given above is much better, I put it straight in, just used the CD in the box never had any problems since. And it connects over quite a distance. Then again that might be why the dongle failed sooo bad

 

I use this one in my HTPC.

There was some intial problems, were the connection would randomly drop out, or would not connect at all.

But after tinkering with a bunch of network settings......(i cant remember which ones now!!), its all running sweetly and with no issues.

 

I read over on SmallNetBuilder.com that a good solution is to get a mini-PCIe-to-PCIe adapter and then go for something like a Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 6300 NIC. (Just found the links with a Google search, so there might be better offers out there.)

Sounds cumbersome, but apparently should be one of the best WiFi solutions available (the Intel card).
