George Ford Posted September 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, Moving my PC to another room for the winter (as it heats up a small room after a short while so I don't need heating on), but dont want to drill holes in ceilings for cables. I'm after a new Wireless dongle but my last two only lasted about 9 months on the 1st one and about 14 months on the 2nd one. Any of you able to recommend a heavily used wireless dongle/adapter that has lasted you more then a couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a pci slot free of course Ok, wired is without doubt better then wireless but it will involve drilling through a ceiling/floor and wall so probably won't do it. I will look into the Zyxel G202, 9 years is pretty amazing for any modern tech to last. I do not have a spare PCI slot. BUT my next mother board will have to have built in wireless as standard I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
