I didn't want to open my case, so I got a USB adapter instead. So now I *HAVE* to do something about this lack of connection. My wife finally demanded that I move my computer from the living room floor, where I could get a good signal, back to the bedroom. The connection used to be just fine but now it was like computing from a Faraday cage. Should've spent that last $30 because it must have gotten ker-zapped too, because the connection to the wireless router was spotty. Overall Review: I upgraded my computer with all-new parts, except for the wireless NIC. Be sure to have the number of your Know-It-All nephew Ralston(tm) handy just in case you're doing something similar to what I did. And that isn't to say it topped out, that's just what I happened to be getting.Ĭons: The only thing I can think of is that the instructions for installation consist of pictures and arrows, with no verbose instructions. The router is about 25 feet away with a wall in between and I'm getting speeds up to 2 MB/s. It came, I opened it, I put in the enclosed CD and let it chew, it restarted my computer, I plugged it in, disabled the card that I had (story to follow), entered the password for my router/firewall and POOF! I was connected. Now that Ive upgraded I can now not connect to any Wireless internet things, they dint even appear in availab. On my PC I always used a WNA31100M N300 usb wireless mini adapter to connect to the internet as my motherboard has no onboard WiFi connecter.
