My sister is moving to her college next week and we've bought a computer for her, got everything else done ok.
However, the dorm she is moving into to is wireless internet and I'm unsure of what she needs or which is the best card for her.
I went to compusa and looked around, and from the looks of it she needs a wireless pci card or a wireless usb adapter.
The USB adapters are $100 and the PCI cards are $50.
The available choices are d-link, linksys, netgear, and siemens.
First question is, which is better, the wireless adapter or the wireless pci card?
Second, which brand of the above should I get?
I've heard bad things about both linksys and d-link and siemens or netgear seem to be the better choice.
Thanks
