Which Wireless Adapter?

[G~MAN]

Hello PCR,​

​

Since being back at home and using my desktop again, I am in need of a wifi adapter to connect to my homes wireless internet.​

​

I did use my laptop and set up a bridge between the two machines, but this was alright at first but now is getting tedious.​

​

I have had a look, and there are so many wifi adapters out there! What one should I go for?​

​

I need it to work with Windows 7, and aim to game on the computer, I dont know if this has an influence on the type of adapter I will need?​

​

Kind Regards​

Geo​

Just go for a name brand with a proven track record, can't really go wrong with Netgear and Linksys. Shouldn't be any compatibility problems as I see you're still using Win XP.

Just don't go for a cheap and nasty card, they're a false economy.

If I remember rightly, I was recommended this one from a similar query here some time ago.

D-Link DWL-G510 Was about £15ish I think.

Forgot to mention, I am using windows 7 hence asking!

I don't want to purchase one which wouldn't work with the new vista!

You did mention we just never picked up on it

Ah, sorry bout dat

Then just make sure whatever card you choose works with Win 7 as there have been a lot of compatibility problems with wireless NIC cards and Win 7.
