I'm looking for a decent and cheap PCI wireless adapter. I prefer wired, but I have to use wireless lately. I got a cheap-ass usb card that failed miserably for free. Then I ordered a Gigabyte GN-WP01GS from newegg for it's favorable reviews. But apparently nobody uses it for gaming, because I get some bad packet loss. (Like 15-25%). It's ridiculous! My roommate has a wireless adapter built into his mobo and gets 0% packet loss, so I know it's me. I've tried a higher powered antenna on the card too. I get a great signal, just unreliable.
I'm also on Windows 7. I've heard that the new Zero Configuration type thing for Windows 7 causes packet loss sometimes, but I haven't been able to fix it. Anyone either know how to fix packet loss on Windows 7 or a card that won't have so much? |
