Wireless pci adapter

[Andrew_Carr]

I'm looking for a decent wireless card but i just upgraded most of my comp's parts so i'm trying to not spend over 30$
I'm only going to be using this for internet access as well, so I care more about good range and reception than speed. I've been looking at g-rated cards, but I suppose that b would work as well.

What i'm looking at right now is something like this:

But i don't know much about wireless adapters since I've typically used a cable, so i migh've made a stupid mistake somewhere or another in my choice. Any advice is more than welcome.

You should probably go with a Wireless G card because it generally has a better signal strength and is capable of 54mbps instead of 11. I had no problems over the summer with my linksys wireless-g card picking up my linksys wireless-g router that was probably around 100 feet away through a bunch of walls.

i recently bought my brother a netgear wireless-g USB adapter (The one that looks like a thump drive) WG111A or something like that and as far as i can tell it gets far better signal strength than my pci card did. i don't know if that is a result of interface or company.

what router do you have? that would help people's suggestions

No idea, I just know someone's sending wireless internet into my room with good signal strength for even an iBook G4
