Hey guys, so I was looking for wireless adapters, and my internet is Verizon and it's a 50Mb service, and these are the three adapters I've narrowed it down to so far, can anyone recommend which one to get? Or another PCI-e one for <$20 that is minimum n

A good WiFi card/adapter is only as good as the signal interference in the environment will let it exist.

Take my home as an example, not to large. Footprint of about 50' x 100' feet 2 floors. I need 3 access points for decent coverage of WiFi... Why? My house is metal framed & we have 220 aC running across part of it. This make the house a virtual Faraday Cage. (look it up)

What I'm getting at is the Adapter, be is USB or PCIe is only as good as the clean and clear radio signal it can SEND AND RECEIVE, to and from the Router/AP.

So, if you have a desktop tower with antenna on the back side, directly attached to the card/case, they are liely being hampered by all the rest of the computers electrical signals. Hence my addition...

Rant off :)

So pretty much if you have a metal framed house get it... :p
Sorry, but I've use wireless adapters inside PCs in my store where there's dozens of other machines working away near it.
Never had any issues.
Only time i've had a problem is with cheap, crappy USB and PCIE adapters.
