Need A USB Wifi Key

Ice Rich · 22 Apr 2008 at 08:41

Hi all,

I sometimes get a few computer units in which I reinstall as OS on. At the moment I wire up a septate NIC Wifi card (if there is'nt one) in order to get online and get drivers etc.

I was wondering if it would be easier if I bought a USBWiFi Key? Would it automatically detect the signal without drivers etc (for the key)? Anyone recommend a decent one?

Thanks

I have the older version of this one, Vista picks it up without needing drivers but for XP you will need to have the drivers handy.

Thanks,

That is similar to what i am using now, i was looking for a USB key (i.e pen drive).

Why do you say that, bad speeds?

Thanks for replies,
