Solve : New Computer-what should I do for wireless??

1.	Solve : New Computer-what should I do for wireless??
Answer» I previously wanted to build a computer, but decided it was too much of a hassle. I have chosen this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9174564&productCategoryId=pcmcat168200050002&type=product&id=1218044490119 It does not come with integrated wireless-so do you know any good ones? I have a wireless 802.11 g router. I don't want to open up a new computer-I don't know if it will give me warranty trouble. So do you know any USB ones? I was thinking this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8993903&productCategoryId=abcat0503007&type=product&id=1218007083590 I know its for 802.11n, but the others had bad reviews. Thanks a lot! well i have either-net connection and wireless going to my computer and there are things you may want to know. Wireless will KILL your downloading speed by about 10x either-net is much faster but if you cant get either-net then go wireless http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315041 is what i use it is a PCI slot but it is cheap and gets the job done...Well...there is a phone line in my room. Will I need a separate modem thing from my service provider to get wired internet? if you have DIAL up which i hope not....i use cable which you will need to run through a modem then router Wireless will not slow it down that much. You dont need to waste your time with a pci adapter either. Just get the usb adapter. What type of internet do you have? That might helpI have broadband. 1.5 Megabits/second. I am using a Linksys router that can transmit at a max of 54 Mbps. Just get a wireless adapter then if you aready have the router and stuffthere is no point to spend 40+ more dollars on a usb adapter when you get a perfectly fine pci adapter for 20ish and all you need to do is plug it into ur comp and your comp should have an open pci slot and just make sure you have one free http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Pci-slots.jpg that is what they look like if you DIDNT know Quote from: aniketkar94 on May 21, 2009, 08:02:22 PM I don't want to open up a new computer-I don't know if it will give me warranty trouble Quote from: computeruler on May 22, 2009, 08:29:58 PM I don't want to open up a new computer-I don't know if it will give me warranty trouble if you open up your computer you will not void warranty.....all you need to do is touch something metal before you touch anything internal and its a PCI slot its super super super easy to installstill, if the person wants usb and doesnt want to mess around opening it then thats ok.it WILL void the warranty. Don't make claims that it "won't do this" or "won't do that" ESPECIALLY when you cannot see the PC. If there is still a warranty on the PC- opening it will void that warranty. It's a fairly common fact. I'm curious where you are coming up with these facts- wireless-g, the more common type of wireless at the moment, runs ar 54mbps. a standard ethernet card is 100mbps. that's 2, not 10 times. Even then, most services providers hardly break 54mbps, or 6.75MB/s, so really it's a moot point. Additionally, Wireless-N is FASTER then standard Ethernet, at 300mbps.

They have computers now with no pcis?

if you open up your computer you will not void warranty.....all you need to do is touch something metal before you touch anything internal and its a PCI slot its super super super easy to installstill, if the person wants usb and doesnt want to mess around opening it then thats ok.it WILL void the warranty.
