    Having had a bad run of Phillips Wireless USB Adapter, does anybody have any recommendations on another brand?

    Hey Sully,

    I've used a couple of the Belkin ones from pc world and they seem to do the job without any major problems.

    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=459648

    Is what I've used.

    €80 a tad steep for a USB adapter :p

    There is a couple of the low end ones as well. I used them for a couple of places where I had no choice but to use wireless.

    I just got the Buffalo WLI-UC-G300HP adapter for N, works great.

    Wonder would it be cheaper online then PCWorld. Hrm..

    Some_Person: Looks good, but lack of cradle is the downside. Its why im going with the USB adapters as the PCI slots are hidden at the back so poor signal coverage :/

    Cheers lads

    What are your needs Sully, just G or N as well? Linux support, or just Windows?

    G support, not using N. Windows machines only. :)
