Default Wireless N network on older PC

Hi there,

I have an old desktop PC with a Pentium 2 233 MHz processor. I tried to fit a TP-Link wireless N PCI network adapter and the PC just would not boot up. A D-link USB 160 adapter did work however, but the speed was slow as the network travels approximately 30m across the lawn from the house to the work place kitchen where I want to run the remote PC just to view emails. What I would like to know is a PCI adapter faster than a USB adapter? Some PCI adapters have external aerials that connect to the PCI adapter. I thought this may work best? Can you help?

Did you try the card in different PCI slots? Also, check the BIOS for the "Plug & Play OS" option and toggle it - when it's off, the BIOS will configure any PnP cards (including the N adapter); when it's on, the BIOS leaves the cards alone for the OS to configure. Sometimes one or the other can have problems doing that, so toggling the setting may help.
