Hi all, I'm moving flats next month and will need to get my hands on a wireless card for my desktop. I have gone through options on various on-line retailers but can't find any decent, recent reviews of them so wondered if any of you have a good recommendation? The wireless router will be located on the floor above me I believe... Nothing too expensive, but a decent bit of kit that I won't be embarrased to slap in my system! Thanks in advance...
If you have a spare PCI-E slot, (1x, 4x or even 16x), I highly recommend the Abit AirPace Wifi PCI-E card. Rock solid connection, easy setup and cheap! A no brainer at under a tenner! http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Abit...rd-with-Antenna-and-Software-AP-A-World-First http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/networking/2007/06/24/abit_airpace_wifi_pci-e_card/1 EDIT. Scan's delivery charges are too high. Microdirect can supply inc. del. for £11.28 http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/16369/Abit-AirPace-PCI-Express-Wi-Fi-Card802-11b-g
Cool thanks, I did actually see that review on BitTech but thought there might be something newer about as it was in 2007... But I guess you are right - at £10 or so its a bit of a bargain and also gives me a bi fo flexiblity should I need to position the aerial slightly. Thanks for the retailers links, made my job nice and easy!
Yes, that's exactly what I did the other week. Went to order it from Scan put was faced with £7 delivery. Went to MicroDirect and it was a lot cheaper. A great card!
Consider a USB one and an extension cable, the short distance will make quite some difference, more than you'd think
