Model number of your mystery HP PC?
Desktop, laptop, netbook, PDA, or what?
How good? (802.11g, MIMO, single or dual band, etc)?

I am not sure about the model number; but, it is an HP desktop. I am not sure how good I want this HP
Wireless LAN card to be; but, as long as it discovers the router in the next room, I guess it should be OK.

Since you have what is probably a strong signal to work with, it would
probably be easier to use a USB wireless adapter than an internal
card. This has the advantage of not picking up noise from the
motherboard, and potentially a better location for the antenna
(instead of in the middle of a tangle of wired behind the computer.

I don't have any USB favorites. but I suggest you get one with an
external antenna connector, probably via eBay or Amazon. Something
like this:

That looks cool, and cheap.I have a couple the range expanders, great for
notebooks. I have bought one real tech card for pc, and it does not work. I
think the transmitter is broke.

I have not switched to N.

why PCI -
just get a WiFi plugin for the USB port - unless it doesn't have USB ?

the bigger issue will be what OS are you running - and therefore the drivers
?

I got an immediate :
"'Application Layer Gateway Service' from your computer wants to
connect to 211.154.151.147, port 21" from my firewall

From that address. Never happened before, while browsing. Any
ideas ?

Your browser has been hijacked. Port 21 is FTP. Something on your
computer is trying to send your saved passwords, or keylogger capture
file to China.

Assuming Windoze, look in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
Download, install, and run Malwarebytes (free version). Do the quick
scan. If you have another virus scanner, use it assuming it's still
working.

I've done all that. Kaspersky iso boot=clean, Avira iso boot
=clean, Avast (from linux) = clean, Mbam = clean. My firewall still
screeches with that one page, but not any other ebay pages.
<hxxp://www.ebay.com/itm/320819067357>
So I disabled the alg.exe service and deleted the executables
(the backup too), even though virustotal showed nothing. I'll wait for
a new def file to delete the maybe trojan.
Tnx
