Hey guys, I need a wireless internet solution, I have just purchased a new computer, it is running windows 8 Pro and is placed about 6m away from the router behind two thin doors/walls. I know this because my 5m ethernet cable just reaches the router if I put the computer in the centre of the room, but dangles in mid-air.
My internet connection is about average for the UK around 12Mbps when I'm on alone and I would need a wireless network solution to be able to handle this with a little headroom for speed improvements and would be looking for this solution to last a minimum of three years. Also, I am a gamer, and would like good response times (if the adapter makes a difference) and would be happy with either a usb adapter (i have 3.0) or a PCI card (i have an msi z77 mobo with PCIe x 16 used up) or any other solution.
Lastly my brother has a PC in the same situation as mine and he has a wireless N adapter that works fine, however I don't know how much this cost and I am looking for the best value for money solution.
Can anyone help me out?
TL;DR - I need either a usb adapter or PCI card with good value for money.
