    WiFi

    I've decided to try and build a wireless network for my gaming rig and need a signal to travel about 20 feet through two walls. I'm looking at the DLink Xtreme N Gigabit Router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833127215

    Should I get an adapter based on the pci interface or pci express x1? I'm assuming these work better than usb adapters?

    Re: WiFi

    There is another option open for you assuming there are free wall sockets nearby, I live in an old house where some of the walls are 1.5ft thick with solid stone and I needed wireless in my room but the WiFi signal was never enough so I found out about Powerline Networking it basically sends your network signal through your electricity circuit in your home, so Router -> Homeplug(downstairs) -> Homeplug(downstairs/upstairs) -> Console/PC.

    You only need to have 1 homeplug with a connection from your router and that will allow you to have multiple homeplugs elsewhere that will share your connection. Its a nice way to host a LAN party from multiple rooms.



    There is no lack of signal, speeds are the same as PC.
