Recently I purchased a Netgear RangeMax Dualband USB adapter to pick up my wireless internet from my grandma living next door (Long story). I obviously have full consent + password so that's not an issue.

I find that my connection disconnects every few minutes and runs extremely slow, even when attempting to run Java programs.

I am thinking of taking the unit back, but I was wondering if an actual Wireless card for a PCI adapter would be better, since it is a larger unit and probably more capable since it is hooked directly up to your PC instead of a flash drive sized wireless adapter.

I am looking for a replacement as well, so any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your time.
