Best internal wireless network card for gaming.

Codylgibson · Jul 14, 2016

I'm building a new PC and was just curious as to what wireless cards you guys view as best for the price. I'd prefer to not break the bank, but I also don't want to sacrifice a stable connection as I don't have the ability to put my desktop where my modem is due to a roomate living in that room. I need something that performs well.

Any input is good input!
Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of using wireless NICs, Keyboards, or Mice for gaming. You always loose connection at the wrong time, lol. Have you considered going Power Line? It uses you house's wiring to bring you the signal. Put one adapter by the modem and one by your PC.

For gaming you shoudl stay away from wireless if possible because of the high latency. If running a cable is out of teh question you should go with a couple of powerline adapters. Much better solution for online gaming.

Just make sure you plug them directly into the wall socket.

Never seen these before, essentially one by the modem with a ethernet attached and one by tower with ethernet attached? Can you guys speak from experience on how well they work?

How well they work depends on the electric wiring in your crib. ideally, you would have the both under teh same circuit-breaker, and then you would get both low latency and high throughput. reagrdless, for gaming they would be alot better anyway as, even if not under ideal conditions, latency would still be alot lower than wifi.
And yes, you attach one to your router and one to your computer through ethernet. Think about them as beiong a cable that goes through the wall

Why are some much more expensive than others? What price point should I go with to ensure im getting a good product?

Just stay away from the cheapest ones. 60+ is a safe bet.
