What wireless card can I upgrade to?

I own a Asus C90S and it currently runs a Intel Proset Wireless 3945 802.11 a/b/g card. I haven't taken it out but I suppose it is a mini pcie card. I am frustrated with this card as its range is poor and can seemingly easily loose connectivity. I believe I can upgrade to the 4965 version but would this be a better choice and is there anything better that is compatible?

Thanks

 

get the 5300

 

What improvements are there with the 5300 over my current card apart from N support? Does it have better range, that is more important to me than if its faster.

 

Changing to N card supposed to give you better range with N Wireless Router/AP.

 

Yeah I figured that but are there improvements to the general poor range,slowdowns and random unconnectivity that my old card suffers? I won't be using N rather G as as I have old apple airport express wireless thingy I use. 54mbps I believe. Not sure whether or not it supports N, would have to check..its a few years old already

 

AFAIK the old airport express is G, though the current is N.

I still suggest upgrading to N if you want better range (that includes your airport express if it's still the G one).

These days G standard is rather outdated already. I don't have range problem as living here in Japan apartments are small, but still I upgraded to N as using G would cap the commonly subscribed 100Mbps internet connection and slow the access to my network storage.

 

Hmm here in third world UK (or quickly becoming that way) I don't think 100mbps even exists! If it did it would never operate at even half that speed, although my town did install fiber optics last year so I could connect up to that
