Hi all, I am planning to build a desktop computer(my first build). At the moment the cable modem is hooked up to the wireless router.
Before I decide to purchase a wireless card for the desktop I want to know a few things.
Do I need to purchase a card of the same brand as the wireless router? I'm currently using the Buffalo G54 WBR2 adapter. Its about 5-6 or more years old.
Is there a certain requirement to use these cards like the OS(Window 7, Vista, XP, Linux etc) and do I have to be using certain wireless adapter model in order for it to work?
Also I see all these information about IEEE 802.11ac/b/g/n or dual band. What does these mean?
Thanks in advance I am very new to these stuff
