[ShadowCaptain]

It will al work together yes

 

But why not give us your usage, budget and location and see if we can do better

 

(eww wifi)

[SeriouslyMikey]

I saw the Wifi and ran out my room in terror. 

[ShadowCaptain]

PSU's ok

y u hate wifi so much?

 

Wifi sucks Ethernet anytime its possible for me

[SeriouslyMikey]

Only for scrubs, brah.

It's a USB WiFi adapter... 

[UltraNeonGaming]

Ethernet or a different WiFi solution would be much better, trust me.

[Bogica]

Sounds  awesome, just go for ethernet!

Some people don't have the router close to their PC.

[MeltingPoint]

How do USB and PCIe Wifi adapters compare?

[H4X3R]

I want to know your adapter history, I get the same ping on wifi as ethernet

 

Oh, I didn't see

Heh. I get 10 ping difference in tf2 when going from n wireless (all the bars) to ethernet. Webpages also load quicker, speeds are faster by 3-4mbps and downloads and uploads are faster.

That is just my experience, it may vary for different people.

[Toddwjp]

you will want a good quality pci wifi card, intel ones are pretty decent.

[H4X3R]

Just set up and ethernet "network" in your house / apartment. I currently have ethernet in all rooms (except for the toilets and bathrooms ofc). It takes about a day and ±50$ but it's totally worth it in the long run.

 

 

How do USB and PCIe Wifi adapters compare?

USB are more portable however i have noticed that my 30euro usb adapter isn't very reliable and speeds are slower than on my 15 euro pcie wifi adapter. I don't use wifi, but when i build my computer there wasn't ethernet in my room yet.

[H4X3R]

Distance (you'd mention how many walls), adaptor and its chipset?

Distance, 1 wall (10 metres) from router (not modem) TPLINK uh...forgot. It's a 80$ N wireless router with 3 antennas. I am not home atm so i can't check the specific model.

Nvm, found it: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?categoryid=2166&model=TL-WDR4300 (i think).

 

My pci e one was also from tp link (forgot as well) but i use it as a hotspot n stuff so to not make it a useless purchase (i used it for 10 days then got ethernet)

[H4X3R]

I didn't ask about the router... if you knew what's the craprouter I've...

I did mention idk the model of the wifi card.

I'll try find it.

 

EDIT: found it @DEcobra11 http://geizhals.at/tp-link-tl-wdn3800-a882041.html

Yes, but maybe the OP has some other people in the house who don't really like running ethernet cables. I actually managed to set and ethernet network in my house, but that was only because there's only about 1 inch of exposed cable

Then lay it along the floor and cover it up with a wooden housing (like was done in my house back in 2005 when we still had dial-up internet).

Not at home so can't make a pic.

Run ethernet and a switch

 

Or grab a powerline kit!

 

(Obviously if this is not possible then wifi is ok )

[SeriouslyMikey]

Ethernet is for poor people too. Why not use magic like me?

Powerline doesnt work for everyone, ethernet is best option

[ShadowCaptain]

Powerline doesnt work for everyone, ethernet is best option

 

Yeah as I said, run ethernet to a few switches, takes almost no time or money to do

 

Powerline is second best (if it works), if it doesnt then fine use wifi

powerline depends a lot on your house, when I used it I ended up actually slower than wifi.
