Napalm Frog Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I personally use the ASUS USB-N13 on my desktop, and it's rock solid. I'm up one floor from the router, and a hallway plus a room across, and get full bar reception with my ASUS n-router at n-speeds. Can't stream 1080p content, and 720p is dependent upon traffic/congestion but for everything up to gaming I have no complaints at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachno 1D Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Theres a few N type USB sticks out but be sure to get one with higher throughput Id suggest either a 150 or 300 Mbps rated device.I was looking on Amazon the other day and they are fairly cheap these days and come in a varied range of makes.

rvbfan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I use 2 Linksys AE-1000, no complaints. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertimber2008 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Netgear N900? Cheap enough (~$36) with the highest possible transfer rate that I'm aware of. But you're better off with a decent internal card as they have bigger antennas, my 2c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpifIcan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You may want to look at wireless PCI card. Something like this edimax 7728in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Bloo Monkee Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If possible, I personally recommend getting an internal PCI card as opposed to USB. I've had much better results with internal than USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I use the ASUS USB-N10 and get full bars with my router being on a different level of the house. I wanted something that's low profile, so I wouldn't have to worry about busting it off. Works really really well and it costed about $20: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted January 24, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hello, For 801.11a/b/g/n USB devices without an antenna, I like the Linksys/Cisco AE-1000 adapter that display name mentioned. For 802.11b/g/n USB devices with an external antenna, I have had very good results using Rosewell (Newegg's house brand) RNX-N180UBE adapter. I see that Newegg now has a dual-antenna model here that supports 802.11a/b/g/n. I had a spare Intel WiFi Link 5300 MiniPCIe card for a notebook computer that I installed into a MiniPCIe to 1xPCIe adapter with three external antennas, and from what I recall, it seemed to work well, too.

Tech085 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 One of the Cisco/Linksys USB Wireless stick will do goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
