| 407350 | 2005-11-25 06:36:00 | Hey Guys. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this wireless PCI card (c1com.co.nz). Is it any good, relaible, easy to install, etc? Also will it be compatible with a d-link router, or will there be complications because they are different brands. Also is this the right kind of ethernet cable for connecting an xbox/pc to a router (www.cablesdirect.co.nz) Thanks in advance |

| 407351 | 2005-11-25 06:44:00 | Useless. Absoloutley Useless- I find the DSE ones the best to use- the software can be a bit complicated at first, but you can't really complain considering I was able to go to my next door mates and still get 4 star reception Check it out: www.dse.co.nz This should be compatible with your router as well And yes, it is compatible with the xbox. |

| 407352 | 2005-11-25 07:00:00 | Thanks very much, just saved me a bit of money. I think I might go with this one; it's slightly cheaper and is the same make as the router (c1com.co.nz) | Herbie_Dog (9286) | ||
| 407353 | 2005-11-25 07:14:00 | Now there you have yourself an excellent card | maverickoc (7240) | ||
| 407354 | 2005-11-25 07:27:00 | You can also use USB 2 wireless adapters as well. If you dont have spare PCI slots, or dont want to open the case. I use USB 2 here. It's just as good as PCI. |

| 407355 | 2005-11-25 07:36:00 | i've wondered about them- do u know anything about the PCMCIA cards as well? How much more expensive are the usb2 ones? | maverickoc (7240) | ||
| 407356 | 2005-11-25 08:49:00 | Here's a list ( . edencomputers . co . nz/c . aspx?r=38681 . 9056225&c=Networking&s=Wireless+Lan" target="_blank">www . edencomputers . co . nz) of whats down the road . This includes PCMCIA, USB 2 and PCI wireless . The USB 2 adapters, I got in Mt Eden Rd, were about $37 each inc GST . (NOT from the above shop tho) . |

| 407357 | 2005-11-25 21:42:00 | I would go for the USB adaptor, but the desktop PC doesn't have USB 2.0. | Herbie_Dog (9286) | ||
| 407358 | 2005-11-25 21:54:00 | I would go for the USB adaptor, but the desktop PC doesn't have USB 2 . 0 . Thats a good reason . Just get a USB 2 PCI card . Altho, it maybe better having front USB ports, on the case . You may get a better signal . Altho some (or all) USB 2 adapters come with an extension cable anyway . |
