Well, my Linksys Wireless-G wireless adapters always, always overheats and either freezes the connection, or my entire computer... so I'm going to get another kind of adapater.
There's Powerline networking, for one. I forget the product name, but MaximumPC gave it a 9 Kickass... and it was from Netgear. While I only need one, it sells in packages of 2 for over $200. So this might be the most expensive solution, while probably the best-working.
Second, Ethernet. I'm not sure how this would work... would I need a direct plugin to my router? That would need one hell of a long cord... or is it just from computer to phonejack? The cord shouldn't be too expensive, but I think I'm mixing up the concept with...
HPNA. This is apparently the computer-to-phonejack option. I'd still need a long cord, but not as long. There seem to be some vaguely described issues with the phoneline(s), but if you guys don't think they'll show up, I'll go with this option. Again, I think this solution will be relatively cheap. However, there are decreases of speed and performance.
The final option is the one I'm must reluctant to bring up. Wireless adapaters have failed me, so I'm not sure if I want to pick one up. There are the internal PCI cards that are pretty expensive (triple digit figures) and the external USB adapaters that are usually $50 and under. Performance varies by difference, but is not as good as the above two, or even three options when I look at my current location from the router.
So, which solution should I take, and if so, which product should I purchase?
