Best Wireless Adapter

[Cbl12886]

Buy this and buy an Intel Mini PCIe card 6200 or 6300.

I saw this in another thread and was wondering if it is still the best way to go? Also, where is the best place to get an Intel 6300?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about that one but here are two I'd look at:

Everyone raves about this one:

I purchased this one the other day and am happy with it:

Obviously this one is much less expensive.

All I can say is I'm very unhappy with the Linksys wireless adapaters, especially the AE1000.

Anyone have experience with HWtools.net?

I went ahead and grabbed this with an Intel 6300 for $32 total. I'll let you guys know how it performs.

Looks like a good choice

Looks good

Be careful with Intel cards on ebay though, since I have read there are fakes on there.

I was going to buy an item there, but found a cheaper source for a PM2-C.

I bought the Intel 6300 off of Superbiiz. Hopefully it is legit.

I put together the card on Sunday and I am impressed with the performance. The only issue I had with the cheap mini pci-e adapter was it did not have the hardware to screw the card in place. I used a zip tie to hold it down.

I saw this posting after I had purchased http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315096 and was wondering if this setup would give me a better signal strength? With my living situation, I'm roughly 30-40 ft away and downstairs from the router and only receiving one to two bars of connection strength. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am fairly close to my router so the small antennas that come with the adapter work fine. If you need better antennas, you could try something similar to this.
