Wireless N adapter
I'm looking for a PCI 802.11n adapter that does both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
These seem to be really rare.
So far I've tried:
- Linksys WMP600N : for whatever reason the speeds fluctuate on this card in my computer (i have two of these in two computers)
- TP Link TL-WN851ND : this one doesn't do 5Ghz but overall seems to work better than the Linksys.
Questions/Concerns:
I'm not even sure if I need 5Ghz at this point but seeing my router supports it, I'd like to be able to use it.
I'm also not sure if I need a PCI card. There seems to be more choices with USB and more flexibility with antenna placement with USB (usb extension cord) but seems to be consensus that USB is not as powerful.
What are you guys using?
