so, I'm in a new flat.I bought a budget PC years back in the 56k days, and eventually got a USB micro adapter thingy for wifi cheap off trademe. it has done well over the years, but now I'm in a flat a long way from the g band router and I get poor or fair signals at best, and often am lagging or being disconnected from it. only once when the household was asleep did I manage to get an 'excellent' signal. Apparently I'm in a sh!t neighbourhood for broadband as it is (about a third the benchmark speed I got living close to the exchange, and even worse and inconsistent download speeds), so I'm wondering if this poor USB setup is why I'm having issues right now (no one in the household has had problems, using laptops/onboard wifi cards.is it time for me to switch out my old 56k card for a wifi one?AMD mobo/cpu, do any of the specs matter for compatibility or can I buy pretty much any card (except laptop sized ones, I guess)?any recommendations - specs to look for, etc.?don't want to go cheap for it to turn out to be just as bad as what I already have, but hope I don't have to spend a lot, as I'm not even sure this is the whole problem.
