    Hi guy,
    Need a little help with this one. Got one of these installed in the PC : http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=308 After a little research found out this wireless part is pretty poor performance wise! :mad: Having serious connections issues, i.e wireless not even being detected after 5 mins use! Just want to know whats the best solution? Should I extend the wireless range of the router or should I just upgrade the wireless reciever?

    Any advice would be great! :)

    (By the way, Im with Eircom 8gb NGB and a Netopia router.)

    It looks like it has been discontinued. Not a very good wireless connector card. Read forums about it

    Better off just buying this, only 24 euro from argos, probably find it cheaper online. Great wireless adaptor

    Yes would work perfect with eircom. USB ones are better than the ones built into the PC's in my opinion. Argos have a 21 days return policy(I think) on returning items if you werent satisfied with them but it will work a treat. It seems like the built in wireless card is dying in your pc.

    Cheers lad might try that out so. Me thinks the wireless card was always dodgy, it cuts out if the screen saver comes on and needs to be reset. That and I could run out into the back yard with the laptop and still get better speeds than the PC which is only 10 yards or less away from the router! :confused:
