not really... the only thing you can choose between is USB wifi adapter or PCI wifi adapter... usually notebook are the cheapest lol

If you buy anything cheaper I don't think it will be able to pick up your neighbors signal.

Really it said a minimal of 30m indoors and 60m outdoors that would easily make it to his house

Um...the distance rating is the optimum or maximum distance. In reality, you'll get about half the rated distance.

I recommend

then buy a 5-10dbi antenna to hook it up.If you don't buy the antenna, the signal will be around 25Mbits/s

WAIT. If there is a frys electronics anywhere near you, you could wait for a sale there, and then pick up one of their airlink 101 wireless N adapters. It's a PCI express adapter, and it's about $25. Mine reaches to my neighbor's house easily. I get 4 bars.

The quality of the signal totally depends on the wifi chipset's signal gain and the antenna which it is using.

Wireless N adapter used on a wireless G network is a completely waste of money unless it's less expensive than wireless G network adapter. It offer no advantages at all compared to a wireless G network adapter. It gets the same range, same quality of signal and use the same encryption technology.

Your best bet is a cheap quality wireless G network adapter such as the gigabyte one i linked to you with a high gain directional antenna.

Do you know what router your neighbor has?

jackluo923 · 06-03-2008, 06:04 PM

Ask your neighbour to go to the router configuration page and set the Beacon interval to the lowest value. That way, you'll get better signal.
