Hello guys, as the topic states i need a decent wireless adapter for my PC to connect to college wifi.

Planning on Asus USB-N13 ~1.4K

Any better options?

Also will there be a diff. in performance between usb & PCI adapters?

I am also in search for one, shortlisted 'TPLINK TL-WN723N 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter'..

Though i am doubtful that it can offer N speed connectivity in such a short package..?

Any other suggestion guys...?

If it is offering efficient [N type] wifi connectivity. i mean any problem with the range ?

Every model spec is listed to have 150Mbps N type and now which one to choose..Dlink, Asus,Netgear or Tp Link?

Any other criteria is to check before the purchase..

From the reviews in Flipkart, the Asus one seems to be a better choice for external.

Well after through that source, the internal PCI card seems to be better.

Don't buy product based on Flipkart's review. Most of the reviews are biased like (Wow flipkart rocks, worderful service). Moreover flipkart deleted the negative feedback.

@Megamind- Buy USB wireless adapters. I would suggest this

Almost all the model listed was 150 Mbps N adapters.. some models are cheaper and light weight when compared with Tenida suggested models..

Anything specific with those Netgear and TP Link adapters..?
