    Which Wireless Adapter shall I buy?


    Well, recently i bought a belkin wireless adapter which keeps on dropping the connection. I'm sick of it. I can't even download 200mb with it not dropping. So, i recently found a few of different wireless adapters. I want to know which one to buy.
    Netgear N600 Dual Band Wireless-N USB WiFi Adapter | eBay
    Netgear WNA3100 Wireless-N USB N300 WiFi Network Adapter - Dongle, Adaptor, WLAN | eBay
    NETGEAR WG111 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter | eBay
    Netgear N150 Wireless G LAN USB Adapter - WNA1000 | eBay
    Cisco-Linksys WUSB100 Wireless Network USB Adapter | eBay
    Cisco Linksys AE1000 Wireless-N Dual-Band USB Adapter | eBay

    Do you know any other good ones? it can be wireless G. They can be pci as well

    I want to know which one is the best. Thanks!

    Hello,

    What is the make and model of your router?

    The first link claims it can do 600Mbps. This will however be limited by your routers wireless speed. If it was me I would go with the first link. Netgears tend to be reliable anyway.

    Hi dom...

    I would recommend something with a High Gain detachable Antenna (they can be replaceable if needed to be upgraded), anything >9dBi would be great. I bought a $20 high gain network adapter and it works really great.
    Here's Amazon's US site for a huge selection. I'm pretty sure that if you search Ebay UK site for 'High Gain Wireless Network Adapters' you'll find a few.

    I really don't care about the speed. G is alright. I just want a adapter that's reliable and not too ancient.

    Can you see which adapter you've got, 2xg, maybe i should buy the same one?

    Or can you please give me a link to another one because i can't really find any

    Dom - How far are you from the wireless router?

    All those links have lower dBi's. What I have may not work for you, but here it is, it can be big and not very good looking if it's installed in a laptop. We have have it connected to a desktop. This, (it's a G) is what I have, it has a 9dBi but we get 5bars.

    The Alfa High Gain 1000mW USB Adapter is hands-down the best. They even have one with 2000mW of power.
