Wireless for gaming?

[Gaming_Addiction]

My Dad want me to route a a cable box, telephone, and router to my room. I dont know why I am not allowed to just route a cat6 cable and take the router. Anyways is a wireless PCI card / USB wireless stick okay for FPS gaming like Counter Strike and BF4? Budget is $20 for one, please link me to one. We have cable and it all is hooked up with a Coax cable if that changes anything.

depends on how good your wifi signal and internet is. with mine its fine but some have worse internet.

It won't really have an effect on your games as long as it gets a decent signal. Here's one from Rosewill: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166073&clickid=wbH1G1Wk4RUlVdZyi9S90UBAUkT1OpWxQV5nUg0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na

This is my internet speed. I am right beside the router on my laptop and my room is like 30 ft away.

That speed, on its own, should be sufficient. It's all the other factors that may hurt your gaming like: How many other people are using the Wifi? How strong is your signal? Is the speed you are getting right now consistent 24/7? Do you always seem to have random disconnects and have to restart your router? Things like this can be more important then mere speed.

PCI is OK, Don't bother with USB. Latency issues..

There are three iphones, and two laptops on the wifi. Both laptops are just browsing web and the phones are basically doing nothing. It is about four walls between my room and the router. Yeah these are the speeds I usualy get but the upload speeds go down to 1mb/s sometimes. I only have to reset the router about once every two months if I am lucky. Does this seem fine?

Looks all good, you should be fine.
