Wireless pci card

[xmal1972]

Just moved home and got a netgear router from Virgin, can anyone recommend a good wireless pci card as the pc I use upstairs for gaming is getting a poor signal with the usb adapter.
cheers

I believe that the Netgear router is fitted with a removable antenna. You can buy a high gain antenna from Maplin which should improve matters especuially if assisted by siting your router in as high a position as possible and away from blockages such as shelves.

USB adapters can be put on the end of a USB extender cable since just a few inches can make a heck of a difference.

Otherwise, I've found the Belkin PCI-e wireless adapter to be efficient - and I have similar problems in my house.

you could try and mess with the settings. Change the defualt broadcast channel there are loads to test often it can be as simple as that
