    Hi lads,

    I need a new internal wireless card for my desktop. One that can pick up signals from routers in a two-storey house, preferably at a reasonable price. My desktop is upstairs and the router is downstairs.

    My current rig is as follows:

    1 Terabyte Hard Disk
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
    Nvidia GeForce 2GB GTX660Ti
    ASRock Z77 Pro3 Motherboard
    Intel i5-3570k
    8GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
    Antec 520w High Current Gamer Power Supply

    BitFenix Merc Alpha Midi Tower

    Cheers.

    It's not as easy as that. Depending on what is between you and the router will affect the signal a lot. Homeplugs might be your best option.

    If you really want to be swanky I can come to your house, drill a few holes in the ceiling and/or walls and buy a load of ethernet cable and run it from the router to your pc ON TOP of me already putting your new components in for you :D.

    Actually that sounds like too much effort, I agree with the homeplug suggestion.

    I'd nearly just get you to do it all for the sake of watching you sweat like a hoor in an army base.

    Thanks for the suggestion, BloodBath. Plugs seem like a good idea.

    You're probably going to need a couple of ethernet cables then as well.
