820376 2009-10-14 05:29:00 USB Wireless Internet Adapters .

Awhile ago, I brought a USB Wireless adapter from DSE, and it turned out to be crap, and stuffed my computer over . So I moved my computer back to the desirable place, and plugged back in .

So I was thinking about buying a Linkys or a Dlink model, somthing that's trusted .

Just before I buy (since I'm buying online) I wanted to know if any of you use USB Ethernet Adapters and how good are they? Or would it be better just to buy a card and install it into my computer?

Thanks in advance .

820377 2009-10-14 06:03:00 To me USB Ethernet adapters are for a temporary connection, EG: I have one in the workshop for when I get a really old PC in that doesn't have a network card in it.
If it were me I would buy a PCI ethernet card and stick it in the computer, cheaper and doesn't take up a USB port.

Ah I see.

So just to make sure, I'm looking for a PCI Eternet Card?

Yes. USB just ain't reliable enough. It also has speed limitations compared to ethernet, but none that you will notice:)

(Or a PCI-E one, so it won't drain up your PCI bandwidth)
