need help picking a card

What is a good wifi card for a desktop pc running vista 64bit

I need to get wifi about 25 to 50feet away from the modem so something with an wifi antenna built in would be needed right?


i have never used wireless before

I'm not looking to spend a lot so cheaper the better, as long as it gives me what i need

The TP-Link he listed above is the best thing since sliced bread. I have picked up 8-10 of them for myself/family and none of us have ever had a single issue with them. Strong signal and it has never dropped so I blame his crappy router for his occasional drop

I try to stick with Linksys, and stay far far away from any brand names that start with the letter "B"...
