Hi guys, I am using desktop i have placed booking for mtnl triband they are given wireless router but in my pc there is no wireless card i want to know which wireless card should i buy Iball (Wireless USB Adapter 108M) or D-Link(WUA-1340 Wireless G USB Adapter)I am looking for more extended range because telephone line & pc is about below 150m.
 
Do you really need to have wireless on the desktop? You could just use a LAN cable - the wireless router would have at least one LAN portUnless you want to have the desktop and the router in different rooms
 
My telephone is in Hall & my pc is room i don't to hang wires that's why i placed for Wireless
 
I would suggest a PCI WiFi card for your desktop instead of a USB dongle (if you want WiFi) which you can add to a PCI slot in your desktop. But first make sure your PC has a spare PCI slot available. Ideally speaking it helps to have the equipment at both ends from the same manufacturer but that is not compulsory 🙂 & difficult if not impossible with MTNL as they dont use WiFi routers from Netgear, Linksys, IBall etcAre you sure the distance between the router & PC is about 150meters :O
 
I have PCI slot available in my pcDistance u can say because i am using Panasonic cordless phone unit is in hall & i can use cordless phone at pc place without any disturbance u can imagine distance is not too far
 
Dude, if your place is >150m in any dimension, you must be filthy rich.
 

😀 Just measure the distance as a straight line between the router & PC & specify the number of walls/partitions in between. If the distance is actually 150m then only a router will not suffice.
 
my house is 1500sq feet i can't know the distance from pc & router but i can assure u that there are no walls if i use usb it will be straight distance
 
i just now saw i can connect two Mobile bluetooth device in that area now u can imagine wifi router can be easily give signals to pc
 
If the distance is really 150metres. Its the router u should be worried about ad get n series wireless router preferably from D-Link/Netgear/Belkin and not mtnl cheap wifi router.U can buy Dlink/Netgear/Belkin usb adapters, avoid iball it sucks.I would recommend usb adapter over pci, simply because you can do a lot to extend the range using usb adapter as compared to pci. Finally are u serious dude about 150mts, 150 mtr is a lot.your 1 step is close to 1 mtr so u can get some rough idea .
 
I've been using Belkin usb wifi adapter......I bought one with the lowest range for about 900 bucks. There were others with more range but i am not sure they can cover 150m 😛. You will need a powerful wifi router for that.
 
Till a few months back, I was using a Dell USB wifi adaptor (not a dongle) on my desktop to address the same problem - 20 ft, 2 walls - used to work fine. Stopped using it when I formally retired my desktop 🙂Only don't know if Dell stuff is available in the market now 🙂
 
I think the confusing regarding 150m need to be solve here.I think he means to say is that his room is of 400 sq ft = 150 meter.and not the exact point to point distance between router and pc.
