should I get a type G wireless card? Or type N usb adapter?
I want my desktop to be able to use wireless internet, primarily for gaming.
It'll be in my room, and my laptop usually gets 3 bars of strength from the wireless router.
1) which would be better for my desktop? The internal PCI type G card?
Or the type N USB adapter?
Let me see if I can elaborate a bit more...
1)wouldn't an internal PCI anything be faster than its usb counterpart? But in this case, the antenna is type N (type N = better right?) So...which should I get?
I was told over the phone that the usb adapter doesn't actually have an antennae, but it still gets me online wirelessly.
2) Will having 3 bars of signal strength adversely affect my gaming network performance? As in, will it cause me to lag?
3) Will either the wireless card or usb adapter be more powerful/receive a better signal than my laptop?
4) I know type N networks can transmit more data, but do they also have more range? Or will I need a signal booster antennas for my router?
It is probably a toss up. A USB adapater in front would probably have a better signal than a card in the back of the computer against the wall.
3 bars I am sure will be less of a speed, I do not know how much. I do not treall use wireless to be eco friendly and network cable is faster especially with 1 Gbs. You could connect a network cable to it instead.
N is faster and also goes through walls and floors better. Just note, one 54G client connects, everyones connection drops to 54G. If you have a old well built house or a huge house, a signal booster or a access point maybe needed. But try just a router first.
