Which USB or PCI adapter?

[amdhappy]

I saw on http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18074235 that Mantaray said that PCI wireless adapter is better than a USB.

I have a Netgear DG834GT wireless router (108Mbps Super G) currently attached to my PC. I want to move the router downstairs and have it plugged into the BT master socket.

Which PCI wireless adapter shall I get that will be compatible with my Netgear router? I assume all manufactures products are compatible with one another?

Thanks

you need a pci card with the same chipset to get guaranteed full speed compatibility at 108mbps

but any 54g card will connect

I believe 108 super g is an atheros chipset technology look for something that has atheros or specifcally mentions 108mbps super G (not turbo or anthing simialr)

Unfortunately its really hard to advise as most makers change chipsets every during a productsl ifetime

Thank you for that errata.

What about a "Edimax EW-7727In nMax 300Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter"

I have emailed the Edimax support and they say that is compatible with my Netgear router, but think that probably needs further investigation.

it will work and could be a good card, very unlikey to go above 54mbps with your router though due to different chipset issue.

OCUK do not sell a 108mbps pci card as draft N and N models are newer technology

Happy I use the 834gt and I fitted the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-041-EX t o my old mans comp across the road from me.( 50 mt)

Fitted 5DB antenna's to both units, and it works like a charm 100% signal from across the road.
Never have any sort of problem with it, but it is a 54mb connection on his side.

I guess a card like Edimax EW-7727In nMax 300Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter should work nicely for me then?
