I'll be moving next month and wired internet is not really a feasible option (nor is modification to the building that would make it feasible), so I'm forced to go with wireless internet access. Wondering if anyone has had any experience or knowledge of some general recommendations for a quality wireless card. Signal strength is kinda shaky but I don't own the router hardware so I need something with a good antenna and supports 802.11G networking (supporting N would be nice for flexibility).
I do have a gigabit network port on the motherboard so I can continue to wire my own components through a separate switch. I'm hesistant to try an external solution due to bad experiences in the past with a particular Linksys 'range expander' that the comcast router insisted on assigning the same IP as the router itself. Nonetheless, if anyone knows any good options that don't require messing with the router firmware (I can't, leased from Comcast), then I'm all ears.

Only one of the PCIe slots is currently in use.
