So this is the first time I am looking to hook up one of my desktops to my wifi. Im using an Asus RT-n56u and looking for a wireless card that can keep up with voip, streaming, and gaming. The distance is not too far but its getting down to the lower end of reception. In a little bit I am going to go measure the signal strength in the corner where the computer will be placed. When I figure out the signal strength I will post but if someone can recommend a good card for gaming without going much over 100$ I would appreciate it.
After going to look with my only tool available (my laptop) I ended up with a -69 with a transmit rate of 65. For most of the house I am getting -30 to -40 which works good enough but my laptop is barely strong enough to play movies... I wont have the chance to take it down to the corner and test it on voip and games for lag.
