wireless question

[Dirty-Lex]

So my roomate is being a fucking cunt and a half and I have move my computer from downstairs in the man cave to my bed room, which is fucking bullshit.. cause he refuses to meet me halfway by installing an Ethernet port in my room so I can be hardwired into the router. needless to say, I have already started looking for another place to live, but I while in the interm,


I am going to get a wireless card for my computer, Im sure it's going affect my gaming... but if it's unplayable, I am going to have a serious conversation with this motherfucker.


any suggestion for a good quality wireless card?

First ya gotta find out if the Router supports wireless N. If so, get a NIC with a a decent antenna. Migt even wanna buy a good external one that has a cord on it so you can give it a good wide open spot. If your wireless sucks ass, you can get a wireless repeater for a decent price. That will boost your signal pretty well.

No suggestions for a wireless card, but why not just run a cable yourself? Does the place you live have an access underneath like a basement or crawlspace? Or are you going to the second floor? Can alway run a wire on the outside ofthe house too. Either way its fairly easy to do. I did try wireless a few years ago and ended up running a cable.

It shouldn't affect your gaming unless you're not able to split the internet speed, like with a dual router, but the majority of the time it should be fine. And repeaters are a great way to boost the signal cheaply. I've had great use with this one for the wife's computer upstairs.

I have gamed on a Linksys Wireless PCI card for years. I've only see some instances of interruption, nothing that would make me punch my monitor.

Well I just ordered these because I have no internet. They will be in tomorrow what i am going to do is pull in more signals and find more unsecured signals.
