Need to get a Network Card. Any help?

[stewie574]

I'm building my first computer ever, and I need some insight on a network card. I definitely need to have wireless internet because my room is across the house from the router.

I already have all my parts picked out and everything, and this is something I thought of at the last minute.

Here's the mobo I got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Anyway, thanks in advance!

If you don't like it, well, it's only $15. Friend used it on a desktop, wifi only, had no lag issues playing Counterstrike, CoD4, or WoW.

Also, you sure you want to get a Micro-ATX motherboard? Those are smaller and usually less feature-rich than the regular sized ones.

Thanks! Looks like it'll work just fine.

As for the motherboard, it's sitting about 5 feet away from me, so yes, I did go with it.

We demand screenshots of the build when you're done. =D

So I would just plug this into my computer and it would pick up my houses wifi?

Well thats the whole idea. Of course, Windows can be a brat at times, so once its fully installed, have Windows search for the house's wifi signal & see if itll connect.

Just an FYI: I plugged it in, installed the software that came with it, 3 minutes later (I think at most?) I was running just fine. 80-130 ping on our CoD4 server.

Awesome! I ordered it about an hour ago.
