Re: suggest a wifi pcie card

i found pcie wirless cards very unreliable , used a belkin one with windows xp, 2k3 , vista ultimate and windows 7 and problems having a connection to hold for more then 10 mins even with the the wireless right next to the pc it wasnt able to connect. I even had a talk with belkin tech support both the indian one and there rep from australia and had them change my card 3 times before i gave up.

After that from what i found out the USB version of these seem to perform better then pcie versions of these cards

so which usb card should i go for?

i always thought pcie are more reliable compare to usb.

I would second what already has been recommended. Stay away from PCI card, stick with USB. Mine was NetGear.

PCI-e wi-fi cards are not always problematic ones, earlier there were issues , but many makes are now problem free, we had sold over 400+ till now.
