Wireless card for a laptop

Mutant_Fruit · 2006-01-30 15:47:41

What brands are recommended for wireless cards? I'd prefer to get a nice reliable one rather than a €10 cheapass one that drops the signal all the time. If at all possible, could ye recommend one from dabs.co.uk. I'm got my eye on either this one or this one. I'm really going by brandname here, i don't know how reliable…

Linksys definitely. They always make quality stuff.

Another vote here for Linksys. Never had problems using Linksys. A few people I know bought Belkin and Netgear and I've found them to be very flaky signal wise. Dropping connections all the time. Software/drivers aren't great either.
