wireless pci card

not sure if this should be here or in connections forum anyway

i have a netgear dg834g v3 54mbps router working with a wg111 usb adaptor but getting fed up with the velcro stick-up pad no longer working to hold adaptor at a good reception point and frequently having to repair connection as usb seems to freeze often and lose connection, thinking about getting pci adaptor instead

should i buy netgear wg311 54 mbps card or get the wg311t 108 mbps card which i presume will only work at the best it can recieve from router ie 54 mbps, my thinking is that the 108 would give me the option if i wanted to upgrage the modem / router to a 108 mbps at a later date

any opions would be aprreciated with thanks
 
USB problems usually occur when you've plugged the modem into a USB hub or adaptor rather than into one of the USB ports that come directly off the motherboard. This is because the primary USB ports from your board have more dedicated power but this gets reduced as a connection is split through hubs etc.

Regarding the card, you're correct in that the connection will only work at up to 54Mbps because that's the peak of your routers output. I'm not sure which of the two I'd recommend though, probably the wg311 since 'n' spec is just around the corner and I'm guessing it's also cheaper without the 108Mbps option.

Just remember that with a USB adaptor you can place the unit above your computer and away from some of the desktop units EM interference. By comparison a PCI card may find it more difficult to get the signal out from behind your system.
 
good advice mark about pci ariel being behind pc also pc is in side a unit which is like a small wardrobe situated about 15m away from router and a wall(loadbaring) between them
