Well my sister took our modem to her room for her computer and i have no internet, so i was force to buy a wireless router but i need a receiver. My ISP is roadrunner, and sadly my rig is used for gaming, so im not to fond about going wireless does anyone have any recommendations?
Also what would be better a USB or a PCI receiver?

Hows this one?

You can get ethernet over mains adaptors instead. Uses your mains socket to transfer ethernet data to your router Might be an option to consider.

100 ft white CAT5E cable: $9.49

100 pack of white cable clips:



~$2-3


plus, you get the "fun" of tapping 100 cable clips in... totally worth it though... I've wired up an entire house before, takes forever for 4 bedrooms, but it's a million times better than wireless

Yeah, don't go wireless unless you absolutely have to. I hate gaming on wireless. It just doesn't work as well.

I would not recommend the option that silverfox suggested, that option still has many issues, and the adapters are rather expensive last time I checked. Plus, you cannot use the adapters most of the time in older houses/apartments with old wiring, nor can you put it on a surge protector.

Surge protectors I agree with, but you can get a full set for £80 here (equates to $80 in real terms, not literal exchange terms - US purchasing parity is better). If your house wiring is that poor that you can't run these, you probably ought to see an electrician about that.

Data is sent along overhead electricity cables here in the UK. Farmers found out about it and were livid, as they only received rent rates for electricity transfer and not data transfer. Aluminium is a great conductor

what can i do with that?

and for silverfox is there a guide on your recommendation?

Sorry for all the questions but im a hardware person, not networking

Plug it into your router then run it to your computer?

It really is better to go wired unless you absolutely can't.
CAT5 cable is pretty easy to run along skirting boards and underneath doors.
I takes a bit of time, but there is a certain satisfaction that goes with it too.

so lets see if i get this right...
I buy a cat5E cable plug one end to the modem my sister has, and the other end to my computer and that gives me a connection to internet?

I would avoid USB for anything that has to do with networking unless it is a must.........
