WIFI Adapter

[TorqueRanger]

I am using a Netgear N300 usb adapter and it keeps acting retarded and I need a new one ..Right now I am using it for basic computing and mostly Gaming on BF4 .. I am looking for help cause I am not sure if I am better off buying pci based card or usb style and what best to get since I am gaming ..Oh I have a Linksys WRT160N Router and I was looking to spend about $50 bucks or so and what should I get ??


Thanks

FPS gaming... any way you could go wired?

Check and see if there is a driver upgrade for your current WIFI adapter. Drivers are often a problem with these things.

I was going to try for wired but trying other options..

I updated and installed the newest version and I still get problems with it getting hot and over heating and shutting down..

Wired is your best option for fps gaming by leaps and bounds.

or if you have a dual band router:

Both cards get good scores from customers and are not terribly expensive.

TorqueRanger, I was touched by the comments you made about burying your dog your Sig. Been through something like that myself. Our dogs teach us much about how we should treat each other.

And now you see why I suggest that so heavily, hopefully your gameplay experience can improve from the change

I feel you on that cause I miss my buddy very much even to today .. I made a custom dong tag I have on my key chain for him ..

Even after three months when I came home from work everyday I would open the door and expect my four-footed friend's tail-wagging greeting and then it would hit me that she was gone. It was so weird how I knew but it would still catch me off guard.
