Slow and inconsistent wireless connection - Page 2

My room is directly below the router, but the walls aren't aligned, so if I drill a hole against the wall here it will come up 30 centimeters out from the wall upstairs, and the rest of my family would turn absolutely mental.

I'll check some other websites for the same adapter, thank you very much for your help.

no problem. also it doesnt need to be the same.

three things to look at mainly:
has to be PCIe-x1
more bandwith the better
sacurity to be WPA2

for the cable:
i see...

poor you

Are USB adapters worth it? Found this one, is it in principle the same as the other one I found?

Quote:

- Transfer rate: 150Mbps
- Supports WEP64/128/WPA/WPA2/802.X encryption
- Supports WPA/WPA2/WMM/WMM-PS/WHQL/Cisco CCX/USB-IF/CE/Rohs

Or this one? It says PCI-E, but not x1, so would that be the wrong type?

not exactly fond of USB stuff myself. the other one should be good

USB has one pro though, its easier to just take out and put in a diffrent PC if the need arises, which doesnt really cover the cons of speed and seamless integration for me yet. maybe with usb 3.0 it will be better

if i were you id go with the PCI-E one you posted.

*disclaimer*
just in case something goes wrong i take no responsibility

(shouldnt go wrong anyway)

Good luck and post back

Alright I'll order the PCI-E, and I will find and kill you if something goes wrong.

Thanks

Have you personally bought stuff from that website?

Hey there,

Sax just go to amazon (co.uk) I'm pretty sure they do ship to guam (norway lol

and shipping will be most probably free. (juts select - eligible for free delivery option on the left tab)

Newegg does not ship outside of US anyways.

PS - As I'm moving to a new property myself tomorrow and in the same boat. Cable will be no option for my desktop and I'm looking at PCi-e wireless card myself.

Was almost set on THIS D LINK but Doc's suggestion come cheaper and reviews looks better. Ty by the way

Also, if I can recommend, leave your desktop (with whatever wireless adapter) kind of in the open. It's not recommended to put your PC next to a wall and barricade it from all sides as the wireless needs ''breathing room''.

So I got my '11N PCI E300M Wireless Card' yesterday and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help Doc.

My computer is right next to the wall, with the wireless card facing it. It doesn't seem to be a problem now, but if it becomes a problem I'll try to move it around a bit. Thanks for your advice Bee.

np saX. glad you has net now.

Instead of creating a new thread I'll use this one instead.

Last night was very windy and I suspect the wind to have fucked up my internet connection. Web browsers, Teamspeak and Mumble works fine, but PR does not - at all. I'm not getting any message saying there's a problem with my connection, but my ping is constantly spiking up to around 500 which makes it impossible to play.

I was thinking this would stop when the wind did, but right now there's no wind outside but the condition of my internet is the same. Anything I can do from my computer to fix this or would I have to call someone to come check it out?

Thanks,
saX.
