Hi,

In need of a Wireless USB Adaptor as the current one drops out. Signal will be going through a few thick walls so needs to have good range.

My router is a Netgear DGN2000.

Cheers,
Oliver

u may get better results with homeplugs. But if it must be wireless try a PCI/PCIe card.

I've got the Edimax EW-7711UAN, seemed to work well with win 7 x64 (no drivers), only costs 11 quid if you hunt around. Went through several walls/floors etc easily enough.

OCUK do the newer 7612UAN which is pretty much the same design, just 300Mbps instead of 150Mbps and black lol

Either method should work well, just depends on budget

Homeplugs and PCI and PCI-E wasn't an option, it had to be USB.

In the end I purchased http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-193-NG&groupid=46&catid=1600&subcat= and I'm pleased with the results.

Thank you to everybody who contributed
