Title: Good adapter recommendation
Post by: zippoking on July 27, 2010, 07:23:17 AM

Anyone have a good recommendation for a wireless-N PCI/PCIe adapter for use with this router in a desktop?  I know most should work, just looking for something with optimal settings and options and that others have had success with, D-link or otherwise.  From a quick search, I only saw D-link products that run at 2.4Ghz.  While I am using that now, I don't plan on so forever (once I get another connection method for PS3 other than wireless G).

I've been using LevelOne WNC-0600 300Mbps N_One Wireless PCI Card (http://global.level1.com/product_d.php?id=589) for about 1 year, but had some problems with speed fluctuation (which later, after trying out different cards, turned out to be DGL4500 firmware problem)
Now using AWLH6090 Wireless 300N PCI Adapter (http://www.airlink101.com/products/awlh6090.php), see no difference then LevelOne, both working well.
My "TV" computer is located next room from router about 15 feet apart, but the signal going trough 3 walls, it gets 95% signal strength, and can stream bluray movies from another computer with no problem.
Both cards are 2.4GHz though.
