Choosing Wireless Cards

How to choose A Wireless Card

Most laptops and some dekstops haave built in wireless card as part of the package when you bought the computer.Usually for laptops they use internal wireless card which has an antenna that looks like hin wires found inside the system.Laptops have options to have external wireless card too: PC card type, Express Card type or wireless USB adapters ( Mobile Broadband cards are quite different although the functionality let's you go online too: i'll add it on my next post though).For desktops there could be internal PCI cards with an antenna connected outside to get the signal or you can connecta wireless USB adapter too.

The speed of connection will again depend on the standard being used by your wireless card:

Wireless B : 11 mbps
Wireless G : 54 mbps
Wireless N : 270 mbps maximum
***take note that all ofthese will depend also on the speed of wireless router.
