Wireless network card for new build

Zeal01 · 28 May 2011 at 22:56

Hey,

Looking for a wireless card that will allow internet connection (upstairs) through a (downstairs) router.
Only component I really know nothing about.

Thanks tons,
Zeal

Ok the Router is a F5D7231-4 Wireless G Plus Router. If that helps.

Make sure you have a pci-e slot free if you choose the above.

Don't think I'll have aspare PCI-E slot, should have a spare PCI, so how does this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-002-DN&groupid=46&catid=1597&subcat=1622 shape up?
