3 Antennas on Wifi Card VS 2?

[Tomhueb]

What are any differences as im having to use this over ethernet as im moving into a room which cannot reach via ethernet cable?

well wireless isnt as fast as haveing a ethernaet connection and the only diffrence is with wifi you have intnas sticking out the back of your computer and with ethernet you just have one or two extra cables.

well your internet speed will be slower as you will not get as good as a connection

Your router would also have to have the ability to use 3 antenna or it will just use 2. They transmit overlapping signals and although in theory you get more speed from each antenna the extra is less and less...otherwise you would see routers and cards with 100 antenna.

How well any wireless works will be much more affected by how your house is built and the neighbors using wifi around you. Performance is unpredictable but it will not perform even close to a ethernet cable in most cases. I would consider powerline networks if your primary use is online gaming, they tend to have more consistent latency than wireless which is subject to random interference
