What sort of Wireless card?

If you have a desktop, definitely go for a PCI card. I would recommend Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N which is in your budget range.

If you have a laptop, then go for this one.

It all depends on the distance from your router if your on dektop, theres no point in having a rangemax card if your only 5-15 metres away, also, if you buy a wireless N card, 802.11N, make sure your router is capable of this as well, or you wont have any benefits, as it will run in G or B mode.

Hope this helps a little, if you need help finding whether your router supports N, tell us what type it is

cheers
James

its not a wireless N card, as router doesnt support it. it's a desktop and im about 10 metres from router. Any suggestions? the cheaper the better

 

[james201]

if its a 54mbps router, you can get this,

Belkin F5D7000UK

if its anything more, i would say this

Belkin F5D7001UK

both the cheapest selection of cards on OC,

Hope this helps
