Title: Help with finding a desktop wireless adpater card that will work for Windows 8
Post by: ๖Ϝцzsioᴎ on January 20, 2013, 09:11:40 PM
So I really like Windows 8 and I've found out that some MOST adapters do not work with it, I've been looking for ages and I've yet to find a card compatible for Windows 8, my budget is something below $50, PCi would be preferred but my motherboard does support PCie, help would be appreciated!
EDIT: Finally found one! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106136 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106136)

I'm not too sure asking here was the right idea anyway... I think you're the only one here who needs a wireless card with Windows 8.

You're better off searching high and low on Google so we don't have to.

Windows 8 is cheaper than 7

@OP anything that works for Windows 7 will generally work for windows 8, if it doesn't, launch the installer in compatibility mode for Windows 7.

I have yet to find anything that worked for win7 that doesn't for win8

Thank you so much.
EDIT: Apparently it has a shitty range, won't work considering that my router isn't in my room.
So...
FUCK.

You could try powerline networking. I've been using it for a little over a year now and I hardly ever drop connection. You can get a kit for like $40.

Bury it under the carpet.
EDIT: If you don't have carpet, either go powerline or put up nails near the ceiling and lay the wire on them to keep it off the ground.
