I ordered a great gaming laptop buy I now know that the wireless network card that is in it does not support a 5ghz connection with my router. What network card can I buy and install myself that would allow me to do this? The 5ghz connection is faster and better for wireless gaming.


Answer
EDIT: ok fine i guess N can run on 5ghz too(i thought it was only 2.4). But still i stand by my point that 5ghz doesn't mean the best/fastest, its the frequency. I knew 802.11a ran on 5ghz and was the slowest.

Well w/e, if you have 802.11N, you have the fastest wireless, just leave it at 2.4ghz, 5ghz wont make any difference. And i dont believe you need a wired connection for gaming. i havent played games on a wired connection in a while.

your ping is based on more then your connection speed (yes if you have lots of people torrent-ing on your connection it will lag). you actually dont even need a very good connection speed to play games. wireless g/n (with a good signal and no packet loss, with no other wireless interference) is more then enough to play any game or host a 16player match like it was nothing.

-the distance from you to your ISP
-the distance from you/your isp to the server client you are connecting to
-and in some games where players host (like alot of FPS), the distance from you to the server client to the game host.

thats basically the main factors of any game lag. and you can really do anything about those.

what gaming laptop should i buy 1500 budget?

I cant decide what gaming laptop to buy,i need something that i can game and record my gaming,please leave me suggestion.


Answer
First, you need to make sure you REALLY have a budget of $1500. Most people start off saying that they want to buy a laptop or computer, and they have a budget of $xxxx.xx, but then after a short conversation on the subject, they start whittling away at it... saying things like "well, I want to also buy this xxxxx with that money, and I would *like* to only spend $1000.00 if I can get away with it" etc. This means that their budget is not as large as they initially said.

However, if your budget is really $1500, consider getting a Sager. Why? I'll tell you.
Start with http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP8275 the 8275 for $1449.
What you get
-17.3" screen
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M GPU with 3GB GDDR5
-Intel® Core⢠i7-4700MQ Processor (2.40GHz), 6MB L3 Cache
-8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 2 X 4GB
-750GB 7200rpm drive
-8X DVD±R/RW/4X +DL Super-Multi Drive
Etc....

Ok. I'm sure it all looks nice enough, but why the $1449 price tag? You can upgrade it. Sager notebooks are built on the Clevo notebook design, in that they are built to be upgraded. The video cards are all MXM standard, so they can be swapped out and replaced. That in and of itself is very important with a gaming laptop. But here's the deal.
What you can upgrade to in the future...
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M GPU with 4GB GDDR5 (or better... since when new MXM cards come out, you can use one of those)
-Intel® Core⢠i7-4930MX Processor Extreme Edition ( 8MB L3 Cache, 3.0GHz ) (again, you are just limited by the processor socket)
-32GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 4 X 8GB (that's a lot of Ram...).

.. and of course, you can drop a blu-ray drive in there, a second hard drive, or even use two SSD drives, etc. The point is, that rather than looking at replacing the laptop in a couple of years because you need better video, or a better processor... you can buy into the base line NP series Sager, and then just upgrade it like a desktop. In fact, if you wanted to, you could even consder the NP9500 series http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP9570 that uses desktop processors instead of laptop processors... if you really wanted to have mobile power.

So, for your budget, buy into Sager.
