which way to go usb express internal for wireless

hello, 2nd post here

i have a gateway p-6301 and need more range on my wireless,

i bought a netgear rangemax 824 g and now i find out my card dont fit the 34m slot, so need to look for a new one so which is better

usb and which one in net gear family

express card netgear doesnt make one now what

or change to a better internal card

can you tell me which one i have ? having a dickens of a time finding one any help here would be gratefull

if i go w/ a n internal would it give me better range?

after reading other posts which i should have done first..sorry

the majority is still w/ g so change the question to which will work better mostly for speed..

usb express card like i said i have the rangemax 824 at 108m so i need a something to get the most out of the rangemax..

ALSO can a modem make a connection slow or is there better modems then what the embraq phone company gave me ?

The only time a modem will slow a connection down is if it has a bad/weak signal. In this case the DSL led will be going from green to red as you watch it.

With that said if your PC is infected with adware and spyware , it can and will bring the pc to it's knees. With the root kits that are out now they can be next to impossaible to detect.

Most prefer using an internal unless it's a very old NB. USB 2.0 works fine provided you do not have a lot of USB hardware connected to slow it down.

Those who have moved up to the 11n Draft have a need for more internal net speed. So unless your moving a lot of files 11g works just fine. If you buy 11n hardware you must make sure it's v2 firmware release. The ones that meet this release are expected to meed the final spec when released. With some MFG discontinuing some early 11n hardware indicates that they may have run in to a problem. If history serves, there will be some HW that will be able to run the final release but with a MAJOR performance hit. This happened with 11g hardware.

 

I have what I think is a related question....am going to be splurging on a new wireless router at some point (considering the DLink 655 or DLink 825; the 855 is just too expensive!) and will need to get a new adapter for one of the notebooks as well. Query whether it's better to get a notebook-specific adapter or a USB adapter? In the case of the latter, the obvious flexibility is nice (i.e. can use the USB on other systems, including desktops). Is anything lost in choosing a USB adapter?

Hope this question makes sense....thanks in advance for any response/advice!
