HQRP 802.11n MIMO Wi-Fi 300 Mb WLAN MiniPCI Card - Supports WPA (TKIP/AES), WEP, MIC, Shared Key, 802.1X Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are so many old laptops out there with more potential than retail box machines today. I repair laptops on my spare time and generally scour the internet for spare parts, max out RAM, hard drive (SSD or 7200rpm), and WIRELESS. It's a hard thing to find 802.11g miniPCI devices that are fully compatible across machines because so many 802.11g adapters are sold and programmed with drivers specific to the laptops they came from. Unless you are getting an adapter from Intel, TP-Link is the ONLY other manufacturer of third party adapters with EASILY downloadable drivers for any machine, 2K, XP, Vista, x64. I installed this device, simply small driver, used Windows Zero Config, and got full 300Mb with an actual throughput of about 10MB to 15MB/sec on my 802.11n draft network. If you are looking to max out your old laptop, get 802.11n for a decent price, TP-link is probably the only easy way to go - no one else does MiniPCI 802.11n. (Remember, this is MiniPCI, NOT Mini Express)
