I need a good replacement for a Linksys USB wireless reciever.
15 replies, posted
I'm stuck with this crappy Linksys USB thing for an internet connection. I only get 54 MPBS, I need something better. The router is in my father's room, but I still get a weak three bar only signal. What would a good replacement for this thing be?
stationary or laptop??
EDIT: If you want a good signal, then stay away from USB receivers, small antenna and limited power limits their range.
If you have a stationary, then i reccommend this one [url]http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=225&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44[/url]
I was hoping for something external, I think I used up my PCI slot with the huge graphics card.
Also, heading out too radioshack tomorrow if they have something good there.

Anything
I guess not.
54MBPS is the max speed of wireless-G. Unless you have a newer N router you won't be able to get anything faster.

How fast is your internet? Cause I'm using a Linksys receiver to and I only have 1 bar and still getting 10 Mb/s. I'm thinking it's not your receiver it's your internet.

It's the 802.11G maximum speed, you won't get anything even close to it even in optimal conditions.
Expect 15-25Mbps if you are right next to the access point and have good hardware.
Even if you get an [b]XTREME[/b] WIRELESS N ADAPTER you aren't going to get more then 20-40Mbps in average conditions.

Turbo G is 108MBPS
ethernet over power. Stable high speed connection (depending on how much you pay). Will most likely be less than buying a good N Router and N reciever

:regd09:
1. Expensive.
2. Tremendously high packet loss statistics.
3. Not high speed at all, i read somewhere that even wireless is faster

The solution is to install ethernet wires.
Properly installed Ethernet data drops in a house:

I'm going to run cables through my walls and under the house. Fuck wireless shit, it's too slow.
