Wireless on Old PC..
Wireless on Old PC..
I went and had a look at the Uni that I'm going to in September. Noticed they had a wireless Router for each floor with 6 antennas (for the 6 rooms?). Now my PC is quite old and currently has a built in Ethernet port onto the motherboard.
Just wondering what to do so that I can pick up wireless signal. Do I simply get a USB stick thing that can pick up the wireless signal, and will this be quick?
Saw somebody streaming live football through their laptop so must be a descent speed, will a USB adaptor be quick enough, or do I need a built in wireless card?

The uni was really nice, everything is new: Brand new or 4-5 years old it seems. Town is also nice, had a quick walk up the main street with the shopping centre on?

Seen a Belkin one. I think it also depends on strength of router as well as how many walls it has to travel through :/.

I've got a netgear rangemax one, cost about £30-40 I think back when I bought it, I used it for about 3 years straight with no problems at all.

Has it slowed your connection down parthiban, or no difference? (I know wired is quicker, but are you getting full connection through it?)

Router was about 30ft away and through 2 solid walls which I imagine won't be the case in your halls.

Yep when I was in my apartment that was my internet connection, modem was in living room, desktop in bedroom with this USB stick plugged in. Download speeds were fine, even used to stream video from PC to TV and had no problems with that either.
