| 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. |
