Which Wireless PCI Card?

A_Darkfire · 12 Mar 2006 at 21:29

Hi,

I'm looking to get a couple of wireless PCI networks cards for my Mum's home network. I've already got her a Speedtouch 580 router and a couple of Belkin Wireless G cards, but I've had several problems with the cards (which I recently found out have several known problems like dropping connections and not finding a network at all) and so I am looking for some different ones...

But which ones? I only need cards that support 802.11g, but they need to be solid more than speedy...

Can someone give me some advice please?

Thanks in advance

Ugh, Belkin.

I've had pretty good results with the Linksys WMP54G cards.

or WP54GS if you got a few extra pennies.

Belkin is very cheap and nasty tat. I have wasted too many hours trying to get them working for customers.

Personally I usually choose Netgear kit which tends to work first time.

I've found Netgear pci cards to be reliable

Have decided to get a couple of the Linksys cards (the cheaper ones...don't think the 'Speedboast' ones will work with a Speedtouch router so better to go with the standard ones).

Thanks for all the advice guys.
