Reccomend a Wireless Card for a Desktop

BaZmO*

Just wondering if someone could reccommend a Wireless card for my Desktop that will work with one of these

Thanks in advance.

You can either get a pci card that will require installing inside the case (not too difficult) or a USB adapter. Personally I'd go for pci as they tend to give better performance.

Anything from linksys, dlink and netgear would be fine. Avoid belkin. They're shit.

This is the one I'd buy: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1150490054358&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

Thanks for that.
I had a look for it on Komplett and the review there slated it.

Well only review there. I installed one for a friend and had no probs with it.

More customer reviews here.

And remember, you're always going to hear from someone who is complaining. If people don't have problems, they usually don't say anything tbh.

That's true enough. How come the pictures in each link that you posted are different?

irlrobins

Different versions of the same product. Linksys often make changes to their products within the same model number. For example the WRT54G router has six versions. From the outside they all look the same, but internally they're different.

I guess linksys site has the latest pic. But the most recent reviews on Amazon are more than likely on the most recent version. So wouldn't worry about pic difference.

Ah cool. Thanks for the advice.

no prob

Just an update. I should have one of these delivered to me today (maybe tomorrow) and I was wondering if it's difficult to install?

Not very up to speed with these types of things........obviously!! :rolleyes:

irlrobins

Nope. Linksys have good step by step instructions. There is also a CD that comes with it that will setup some of the configuration for your automatically. So just follow the steps and you should be fine. If you're having probs just post back here.
