Alright well now that I see this post http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/wire...s-adapter.html
about the Engenius USB adapter I may just go that route.

Kinda sounds like you can't go wrong, and everyone that seems to have bought it, minus a couple with hibernation issues seem to love it.

Ah.
Bridge to me is the windows bridge device that you can setup in "network connections".
But you are correct. Any hw wifi radio is a bridge from wifi to USB or Ethernet.
Good luck

Is there any reception difference between using a PCI or USB wifi adaptor?

I have a quick question.

I have inbuilt wifi on my carputer with no external airels how do i extend the range of this, also does anyone know of an airel that sticks to the windscreen as I have seen some of the airels on local police cars but I think these might be for gprs

You'll need a jumper to go from your pc to an external antenna. AFAIK there aren't any "stick on" wifi antenna repeaters. There are some stick on blade style omni antennas though. You could stick one to the inside of a window. Preferably the one closest to your house while parked.

Best way, get a new card. For the mimo part to work correctly, you'll need 3 antennas spaced correctly apart. That card can't do external antennas anyway, and hacking on antennas without any previous microwave radio experience is a pretty good way to kill the card, or hurt yourself.

Hi!
I need some help....
I've an PC (Carpc

) and I ve an MDA both of them has an WiFi card. Could i connect them? No router and etc...
I want to remote control/screen capture the MDA (for navi system)
How can I setup this ?
Maybe the PC ip 10.1.1.2 and mda 10.1.1.3 or something like that... will it work?
if yes i need to buy an Wifi card to PC...

Yes, you should be able to do it, there is a setting somewhere in windows wireless networking. Not on lappy or CarPC so I can't confirm at present.
