WiFi Card

[hazzerjt]

I am looking for a WiFi card for a computer. Sadly, I can only use WiFi and I am quite far away from the router. I have seen ones ranging from £8 - £50, what ones would you recommend (I am using the router provided - a BT Home Hub 5). I am also looking for a bluetooth card, so any pointers there would also be greatly appreciated.

Are you looking for one that's PCI_ex1 or USB?

Preferably PCI-E

I used this for years and found it was very reliable, capable of 300Mb/s up & down: ASUS PCE-N15

Wireless distance is decent but I will say it doesn't pick up my neighbors WiFi across the street (approx 120-140ft away) but I'd imagine your router is closer than that.

I'll have a look into it, thanks for the advice

@Windows7ge Sorry for another question but does that WiFi card require you to use the driver disk?

Your OS might come with a compatible driver but I wouldn't use the disc driver (outdated). Here. Hold onto this: Driver

If you buy this wireless adapter the link will contain the necessary driver directly from ASUS's website. It's Windows 7/8/8.1/10 compatible.
