    Which wireless adapter to choose?


    Hello, i wan to but a new wireless adapter because my belkin sucks. I found these:
    Edimax WLAN nLite High Gain USB Adapter (4710700926352) | eBay
    Cisco-Linksys WUSB100 Wireless Network USB Adapter | eBay
    Which one shall I buy? Have you got a different favourite? I like the edimax one very much because it's a high gain wireless adapter

    the usual advice is to buy an adapter of the same make as your router to maximise compatibility.

    saying that, any high quality adapter should work with any router flawlessly.

    the edimax looks to be the superior of the two, and should get a stronger signal, which will mean faster speeds and a wider range.

    Dom - this is a Duplicate Thread of this one, you shouldn't create another thread with a similar concern.

    Anyway, I have also replied to your latest post.
