Looking for double band wifi card formy PC. USB vs PCI

[sblmbb]

Hello, I'm looking for good double band card for my PC. My PC is far from the router and cannot connect it with a cable. I'm using it for gaming so I'm aiming for a good latency.
Also should I get PCI or USB card ?

I don't like the USB ones I find them to be bulky and often get in the way of the nearest USB port or if you use a USB extension cable it just gets in the way. When I had one connected to an extension cable I was always moving it around to get it out the way or get a better signal.

I'd suggest starting here: there are a couple of cheaper models to choose from if this is too high for your budget.

It also depends on how good your Wireless Router is as to how good it will be for gaming. Though its always better to have more and not use it than have less and need more.

If you want good latency then I would say try out some powerlines. (adapter than turn existing power sockets into a network) Depending on how well they perform will depends on how good the power cabling is. If you've got a friend that will let you borrow a set. Otherwise £26 will get you a twin pack of 500mbps TP-Links. They'll work over a maximum cable length of 300 meters.

You dont describe your router so noone knows wich protocols it uses. Your new adapter and your router needs to be a match.

Usb adapters you can use on more than one pc/laptop.

You say a cable is not an option but if you want to eliminate latency as much as possible you need to look again if a cable is really not an option. Maybe you overlooked the possibilities.

This.

Try and find a way of cabling. Might be a bit of work but it's the best option.

If it's a rented property or you can't make this kind of adjustment, go for a network card over a USB network stick.

Always use the PCIe bus whenever it's an option, it has more bandwidth and has far less CPU overhead which in turn cuts down on latency.
