Shock Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Well, turns out, I need a new wireless card. Oh joy!!11 Everyone should take note of this: "You get what you pay for" .. Don't buy items because their cheap. Anyways, I have an Airlink101 AWLH3026 802.11g Wireless PCI Card. Drops packets like crazy.. spikes about everyone one minute. So, it's safe to say, it's a nuisance on this game. (Nothing is wrong with my router, if you were thinking about suggesting that.) For those of you with wireless, what cards do you use? I'd prefer if someone who actually uses wireless would reply.. that way, I know if it works fine. Thanks.
»Blocks Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I have used a D-Link AirPlus 802.11b card in a desktop machine at home for a few years now. It was a little difficult to set up but has functioned very well since. Note that I have it set up on an ad-hoc network (no router). However, I have heard bad things about D-Link products. I wasn't able to get my free 802.11g router from them to function, though I didn't spend too much time on it. My laptop uses an integrated Broadcom wireless adapter, which has worked very well. I hear that Linksys and Netgear make decent products, in that order.
rootbear75 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I have used a D-Link AirPlus 802.11b card in a desktop machine at home for a few years now.i used D-Link for quite a while too on my desktop.Then when we upgraded our router, I went to a Netgear USB wireless device (cause my stepmother is a !@#$%^&*ing moron and didn't want to open the comp... !@#$%^&*)NEVER GET A USB DEVICE UNLESS YOU ARE ANYTHING LESS THAN A MORON WITH COMPUTERS!god that thing was a pain in the !@#$%^&*... took like 5 minutes to find the !@#$%^&* router every time i booted up...always go for a card... USB devices are a pain in the !@#$%^&*, especially with their stupid programs that eat up CPU and mem.other than that, the Netgear was a good card device....
Cancer+ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 lol root, I don't know what you are talking about. I have a external linksys wireless card and it works fine. If you are not worried about money, this is the fastest card out there. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1142293514033 USB or non-USB, either work just fine.
Shock Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 Sounds like Linksys is the winner. Time to find me a cheap one on eBay.
