Need a good PCIe wireless card...

[CYB3RBYTE]

Hello all,

I know this isn't the place to post this but I need some help concerning a choice of PCIe wireless card for my gaming build, the CRIMS0N. Right now I have the WORST Rosewill PCIe card in it, and I get download speeds of only 300kps, on a good day. Does anyone know of a PCIe 802.11n card they'd recommend that's decent for gaming? I heard TP-Link was pretty good...

I've put the TP-Link 300MB PCIe cards in a couple of family PCs. No issues with them so far.

I bought a genuine Apple mini PCIe card with a Broadcom chipset(p/n starting with B) and a mini PCIe to PCIe adapter. It was plug and play in Leopard.

Think this one might be running Windows.

That said, nothing beats a bit of CAT5 for a gaming rig.

Can't have said it better myself. HOWEVER, I don't have the luxury of living in a modern house with cat5 installed into walls, so unless I punch a hole in my wall I'm screwed outta luck there.

Hey bunnspecial, can you maybe show me what mini PCIe to PCIe adapter you bought?
