Default Need suggestions for Wireless-g pci adapter

I need a new wireless card for my desktop because my current one gets horrible reception and constantly disconnects. I know I'm not too far from my router because my laptop can get reception from there. My current card is a Netgear wgr311v2. It only has to be wireless-g,no USB's. Any suggestions?

Try updating your drivers for it. See if that makes a difference.

Try this one. It connects solidly and I've never had problems with it.

Amazon.com: D-Link DWL-G520M Wireless 108G PCI Adapter, 2XR, MIMO, Smart Antenna: Electronics

buy a 7dbi gain antenna
see
D-LINK 7dbi Indoor Antenna (XH7734) - Dick Smith Electronics - Australia.
put it on the desktop wireless network card

and you may be able to also put one on the router depending on the connector on router.
Desktop computers have metal cases that interfere with the radio transmission as the antenna is always next to metal.
The 7DBI gain antenna will double the signal strength from the desktop as 4 dbi loss in the cable.
