Hi guys, a little question here... a pondery mayhaps.
So I've recently discovered Dell screwed me over a little with my "N" network adapter card in that the GHz it could pick up wasn't specified and I'm learning that it's only the 2.4 Ghz channel it picks up and not the 5 Ghz so I'm looking to upgrade. I've been running into some wireless problems (intermittent lag and such - I'm in an apartment complex and the connection's shared + there are other routers in close proximity so I'm assuming the 2.4 Ghz's getting hit with some form of interference during these 'peak' hours), wish I could go LAN but I can't.
I've done a bit of research into the subject but I'm not sure what I should pick up so I was hoping for some knowledgeable help with this subject if someone has the time I'm looking for a half-mini wireless card (my PC, it's NOT a laptop, has a doc and wires built in - it's the a Dell xps 8300) and have landed on this intel card this intel chip. I'm looking for optimum capabilities and picking up multiple frequencies.
Is this the right choice or should i look else where?
(my bad about the Ghz misunderstanding)
I forgot to mention the router is a Linksys E3000 which is a dual band (2.4/5 Ghz) and running Windows 7.
