Siemens Gigaset or Netgear WG111GE?

[looney]

Hi

Looking to buy a wireless adapter for my old rig, and have narrowed down to those two, are they any good? if so which one should i go for?

My router is a Netgear WG834G

Also do ypu have any other recommendations? Must be a USB adapter and budget is a tenner.

Thanks

I always though Sioemens made very good cordless phones amongst other things... but I have no experince of their wireless client adaptors. if your router is netgear, i owuld stock to the netgear TBH.

If you are running Xp any 802.11g ( with backward 802.11b compatibility) card should be okay from the likes of Linksys, Belkin, Netgear, D Link. Edimax - as long as you are not too far away from the router and walls are not overy thick the standard ones should suffice. For weaker wireless signals there are more sensitive adaptors you can buy.

I rather like the Siemen's myself

yes looks good - atheros chipset

Yeh thats one I was talking about, its well priced at only £7, but ive never used an atheros chipedadapter, only ralinks so dont have a clue how good they are, but spec wise it seems better then the netgear (which would be the safe choice), but im hoping the siemens is a more reliable connector?
