Hey, I'm looking for a decent wireless card, that will never drop connection. A month ago i bought a Belkin wireless card, turned out worse then my old one. Drops connection every 20min, drives me nut's, couldn't play any games or anything. So now I'm looking for suggestions on a decent Wireless card, that wont drop connection, and has a good range, for around $30. Any suggestions? Thanks.


Sorry if my punctuation is bad, forgetting what i learned in school a little everyday.

You need to find a card with a good chipset. Cheaper cards use cheaper chipsets that are not as sensitive and more prone to suffering disconnections from even minor interference.

It is like almost anything else, you get what you pay for.

EDIT: even buying a card with the best chipset in the world will not resolve all wifi issues. There are other factors involved as well.
