Hello there, so today I was told I should start looking for a WiFi card as we are getting new internet and the Ethernet cable is in the way. Now I don't know what to look for in a WiFi card but I must say it has to be under £50! Hopefully someone can help?!

Look into Powerline Ethernet. I use it and it reliably carries 300+ GB every month. And it is just as fast as ethernet.

NetworkPCEA usb wifi network card is enough to connect to most wirelesses (Depending on how far away you are).

If you are okay with paying a little more for some better stuff Asus produces some nice network cards.

That would work fine with almost any house lengths i can think off. I am currently using a 50€ wireless card from Asus and i realize i wasted a lot of money.
Thank you very much! Does this Asus card connect to any broadband? Like Virginmedia, Sky and BT?


Not what i know but for wireless use it will work fine. It doesn't have bluetooth but i don't think you will need it very often. Anyways you could spend a little more and search through http://www.computeruniverse.net/en (A really good store for EU buyers)
Thanks for the help! Think I'll just go with the Asus-pce-n15-n300.
