|  Trying to find a product, having no luck...
Ok, a friend of mine has a wireless pci router card made by Gigabyte, I connected to it and we played some CoD4 together, well, I kinda want to buy one for my home computer since I have only dial up at home, and wanna be able to set up internet conection sharing and have my laptop completly wireless.... I finaly found the product, but I can't find a single place that has it for sell... GIGABYTE - Product - Communication - Products - GN-BC01 (1.0)
That is the item, I just can't find a place that has it anymore... Anyone have any good suggestions? |

Why do you have to buy that particular one?

it's more or less a wireless router with one wired lan and one wired wan port, that is on a pci card, it really only uses the computer for power and the connection... Just read up on it, if you don't really get the idea here.... I just rather buy that than a normal wireless router for a few reasons...

Wouldn't that power down when the computer powers down?
P.S. There are some on ebay

The computer never gets shut down, it has a ups, and that has been tested by our last large storm to last 13 hours with the monitor off.... I have had it running a little over 500 hours so far running seti...

All that thing really is, is a wireless router with a easy access point. Just get a wireless router that has access points and it will be much easier on you.

There are a few reasons, I prefer that, because me and my friends all have wireless cards out the ***, and it would make life a bit easier at our small lan partys, we have done experimented with it, and with 15 people, we found no lag in COD2, and some in COD4, and it would be easier to have that computer hooked up acting as the game server since it is rather beefy as is, and it's just one less adapter to plug up...

eBay will be your best solution then. It seems as if that was discontinued and no longer available. At least not in any searches i have done.
