My sister in law was running a ten meter Ethernet cable across the floor, and her daughter tripped over it and ripped the connection right off the card, out the back of the pc.
She has WiFi router , so I suggested she get a USB pen drive type.
I have no idea on WiFi
are the USB type ok, or is she better off with a fixed card.
this is what I´m looking at.
Or you can run the network cable along the walls and corner all the way around the room. A single ethernet cable can run a maximum length of 100 meters between device & switch (hub).
Pick up some cable-management nails from Home Depot and you can keep the cable fixed to the corner of the floor/wall junction.
When you buy a USB wifi card pay close attention to the power mW range and supported encryption's. The higher mW the better, stay away from anything under 50mW. And make sure the USB device supports at least WPA2 TKIP, if it supports WPA2 AES consider it a bonus..
