Hello,
I have recently moved my gaming PC upstairs and as such have discoved that my
wireless card is rubbish as it cannot connect to my router downstairs. (I know
what am doing, but the single strength is almost nothing at all and so when
it does connect there is a limited connection), as such am thinking of buying a
new wireless internet card for my PC but not sure on which one that i should go
out and get. I found this one but not sure on it.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hercules-Wifi-R ... 697&sr=8-9Any help/advise would be great

Well dude If the window deal doesnt work it looks like that Wireless N card looks good, considering i bought a single non extended g card recently for $40 -_- Its only 34 bucks not bad either considering the hardware

Maybe a wireless signal extender, or maybe lan through the electricity wall sockets is an option, i don't have experience with either of them, they are just suggestions.
Wired LAN ftw.

Make sure your router is an N router. Thats the only way you will get anything out of that card.

or if you want it now and u wanna be cheap:--
Take Aluminum Foil, wrap it into a bowl shape
Poke a whole in the bottom
Stick it through your Routers atenna
then point your direction
that should be the solution

also don't cheap out on the card if you do its luck of the draw. just look for one of the big companies that sell the wireless cards. example D-link they have very nice wireless stuff.

Just make sure that you get the right type. N cards don't work with G routers and vice versa.
