Good wireless card needed

[howayman]

I am not sure whether to post on here or under hardware but I need a good wireless card for my son compatible with windows 7 64 bit.
We live in a stone house and signal strength can sometimes be a problem. The router is downstairs for better tv reception etc but the pc is upstairs.

I use an addon NWP210 for mine and it worked great (mine is upstairs too), but after I changed my hard drive and reinstalled windows 8, it just isn't recognised. I have downloaded the drivers but unless I put my hama adapter in the usb slot I get 'no connections available', so am adverse to buying a similar but pce one for him from them because I will no doubt get the same problems.

I hate drivers with a vengeance, they rarely run smooth for me.

Any help with a suggestion for a good suitable one for my son would be greatly appreciated.

I recently upgraded one in a friends build because of a similar problem, but I think it was to do with the new SuperHub from Virgin. The one I went for was This

It now gets excellent signal. Another option is to get some Home plugs, I have never used them myself but they are very popular with users facing wireless problems.

Power line networking

That looks just the ticket. Thank you

Do you know if they make the same type for pci2 or pcie4. I am that impressed with the feedback on signal strength I also want something similar for me ha ha.

Unfortunately my pce slot is to near to the graphics cards, but the two mentioned should have enough space.
