Wireless card
Last response: in Components
So my roommate bought a computer prebuilt (against my advice) and the internal wireless card from HP just plain fails...
the distance from the router to his computer is roughly 20 feet in a direct line.. goes through 2 walls (very thin).
He gets 2 bars max and slower speed then my 6 year old laptop at the same distance (same distance i have full bars he has 2)...
So basically there is nothing wrong with the drivers or anything that i can find so he wants to just replace the card (internally or externally)..
Any recommendations for < $50
P.S: network is wireless G

We've got 3 routers (2 are G, 1 is N), 20m and 2 bars is pretty normal.
Goes 25m tops, although on my built in Intel card it can goto 29m. (Line of sight) And with the top of the line D-Link DWA-160 N usb adapter, I got 21m line of sight broadcasting at N. =\ Just getting higher speeds.
In the end I just flashed the firmware of one of my routers, to be used as a repeater. (Just broadcasts what it receives, acts as a signal booster)
