  • this looks like the beginning of a bad porno

  • In my opinion, this video does overcomplicate things massively. In this day and age there's only about 2 viable ways to make a desktop computer wireless. If you're happy opening up your computer, go down the PCI route. Otherwise use USB.

    While I admit the other 2 (not 3, having wireless built in already doesn't count as a method!) ways can have their uses on occasion, they're really quite specialised - I'd be very surprised if anyone who actually needed them would need to watch this video.

  • Also there is the D Link antenna adapter which is good for wireless desktops. Get the dual band N for better reception. My network is on 5.9 which is the highest. It never cuts out.
