Hi, I recently built an i7 920 / GA-EX58A-UD3R computer and have just realized the motherboard doesn't have onboard wifi. Most of the time, it won't be near a router/ethernet outlet so I need to use wifi.
I currently have the DIR-655 router which supports 802.11n, so I'm looking for a PCI card or USB wifi adapter that best fits this router and my motherboard. I'm only using a single 4890, so I have room for a PCI Card if you think it's faster/better reception than USB. Installation convenience isn't really a factor, unless both run equal in all other aspects.
What do you suggest?
Most important is speed and signal strength (since I'tll be 2 floors above.) I have one already on another computer... but I don't know which it is, something by TP-Link, and it seems to work nicely, so I'm up for another PCI Card as opposed to USB (I've heard they're not as good.)
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: OH and it has to be compatible with Windows 7 64-bit!
