Hello everybody!
I'm looking for a new wifi adapter via USB connection for playing online Minecraft servers.
My current adapter is some "nano"-model by Jensen, and it is really bad. Its signal is really weak and stuff. It is just too bad for playing. I know I should buy a PCI-e wifi-card that I can put inside of my computer, but I won't get one of those. I will stick with the USB ones.
So, what would be THE best option for me? We have a pretty bad internet speed, I'm not totally sure about the right speed though but it really is kinda bad. I think that it is the adapter that makes the connection even worse for me. The router isn't that far away (3-4 meters from me with couple of walls
) but a better adapter with a stronger signal and a 5Ghz link speed ( yes, the Jensen adapter doesn't have an option for me to change the speed from 2.4Ghz to 5!!) could make a difference, I think.
I usually play Minecraft on The Hive server that is an EU server (and I live in Europe.) I currently get about 55-60 ping on it with the current adapter wich isn't that bad, they say. I still get sometimes stupid lag spikes and three-bar connections though. The Hive is a server that only has pvp on it and I can't fight and pvp well with the small lags bcs I can't get the important hits on my opponents. I visited my friend that plays MC too and has a wifi with 50Mbs speed and he has SO AMAZING connection to the Hive! He gets no lag and often kills every1 he sees. I would really, really like to play as well as him but I can't do it with my current wifi problems.
About 3 people uses the wifi at the same time in my house, but only I am playing and doing the heavy stuff.
So, expert help would be really appreciated and I would be so thankful if some1 could complete this problem bcs if this situation just continues, i will have to stop gaming online. And I don't want to do that!
Thank You!
