Just a question to see if someone can hopefully either help me find the item or where i can go to upgrade it, pretty much i remember seeing someone on the forum say they upgraded there wifi card to one i believe called NIC im not to sure but i know that he said it made great improvements to download speeds and lag as well as the strength of signal from the wifi, I was wondering what this product was and will it actually boast a performance as i only use wifi cause my router is too far to use ethernet. Thanks ahead of time for all your help.

What's your current wireless card? Have you already tried adjusting settings in your router? (e.g. wireless mode, channel, bandwidth)

People who upgrades upgraded to Intel 6200 adapters mostly. NIC is just an acronym for network interface controller, not a brand/model.

As Namaiki said, if the problem is with your network settings, upgrading the adapter won't fix your problem. If other wireless devices connect just fine, then the adapter might be giving poor performance.
