Need help regarding Wirless adapter/card

[UzuShin]

I moved my PC from one room to another. But I don't want to run the Ethernet cable through one room to another as it prevents me from closing my bedroom door e.e.


So,I have decided to go for a wireless solution.

Now,my question is can I use a 150mbps wireless adapter with a 300mbps router?


I have a spare 150mbps USB wireless adapter but every time I use it: it connects for a while then keeps disconnecting or getting limited access.
But my smartphone gets the networks just fine in my room.

In any case, I am planning on buying another wireless receiver so I need suggestions: Do I go for a PCIe 1x lan card or a usb adapter?

Is there any difference in performance between the two?

I want to get this lan card but my PC is kind off in a corner. Will it severely harm the connection?


(ignore the cable management )

My router is in the next room so not very far.

get tplink wn722n

I have a WN727N and it keeps getting limited access.. Is that just because of range?(My phone's network works fine in this room)

I have a 300mbs router it won't have any issues connecting to it right?

don't think so, try changing your wireless channel to a less crowded one, bring down the channel width to 20mhz, and the mode to n only. and see what happens.
