PCI Wireless card

[Urijah]

I'm looking for a good pci wireless card for cheap... like $40 at most

I have several Rosewill cards and very happy with them here is a 300Mbps card for cheap https://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-wireless-network-card-rnxn250pc2

I was thinking something like a Rosewill card or maybe a linksys but on the rosewell and even the linksys there were a lot of negative responses but I've seen several people here recommend them here.. Could the antennas be upgraded for even better signal? Just curious.. I'm pretty positive this is the route I will take so thanks for the response

I have had no need to upgrade any antennas on mine, They are on several locations in my 2700sqf home and the router is centered.

Last question.. I see a lot of used ones on ebay but without a cd at least it isn't mentioned in their listing.. Do they actually require a cd key or is the cd simply there to show you how to set it up?

They do not need a CD since the drivers are included in modern Windows.

should I be ok with this?

It depends on the speed of your router since that is only b/g with 54Mbps speed which is fine if that is all your router can handle.

My area only offers 30mbps unfortunately

It will do fine on the web but if you have a home network you can do much faster speeds on internal transfer between devices if you have a N router which supports much higher speeds.
