I am hoping this will be better - I currently have the TP-Link 4800 and it will lose connectivity frequently for no reason even though I get ~3bars of reception. (Yes, I've gone through every hoop i could find to fix the TP-LINK - no power saving, no extra software, update drivers, removed/reinstalled, removed and recreated network profiles and more)

i have got only 1 tower signal strength very very very bad performance not giving full strength BAD never buy.

The Asus is going to be a better performing card if you have a router that supports AC1700 or AC1900 speeds. If you have an older router that supports N300-N450, it won't matter which card you use. If you have an N router that supports N900 speeds, be sure they are using compatible chipsets, otherwise you will only achieve 450Mbps max possible speeds.

The 3160 does not care the same speed as the 7260, almost half the speed (up to 433Mbps). Honestly I could not find, nor do I know the difference. From what I seen there are two different 7260 they have dual ban and single ban. The one I bought is the dual ban version and highly recommend it. It truly has great distance and speeds. I hope this answers some questions you had. It also should work in any lapatop that accepts half mini pcie

The main difference is that the Linksys WMP600N support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz (only new devices support this band, most people use it for HD vidoe streaming) frequency bands. Here is the comparsion of both cards via their specs @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N;=-1&IsNodeId;=1&Descr;iption=WMP600N&bop;=And&CompareItemList;=-1|33-704-031^33-704-031-TS%2C33-124-342^33-124-342-TS&percm;=33-124-342%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

This card is for PCI, which is an older type of connection on the motherboard. Some newer motherboards only have PCI Express, which is a newer form of PCI, but it fits different cards. Do a google search for PCI vs PCI Express to learn how to identify each. Asus makes the Xonar DX, which is a similar card that fits in a PCI 1x slot, which is a much smaller slot than PCI.

This should work in a computer with a free PCI slot, running XP or earlier. I'm not sure about driver availability for Vista and later or 64-bit systems. This is an older card so requires the traditional PCI slot, not PCI Express.

The L4 designates a model update of the original PCI card of the same model number. Not sure which exact features and/or drivers were updated for the L4 but they work in identical platforms. Both are PCI cards. I actually purchased the L4 version and it works fine with my Win7 in a PCI slot and is a great card.

Your motherboard has to pci slots availabel ( 1* PCI Express x16 (2.0) - Low Profile Only and 1* PCI Express x1 slot ) and the TP-LINK TL-WN951N Wireless N300... Includes a Low-profile Bracket so I would assume that it should work fine. Please keep in mind that I am not an expert but I do build all my own computers. hope this helps

I think the adapter is superior in terms of consistency and reliability. I have used the dongle. It is easier to install, plug and play. The trade off is a lot of disconnects vs. the card. I have had no drops or disconnects with the card.

2.4 Ghz works perfectly. I don't have a 5Ghz WiFi router, so I don't know if there is any performance gain from the higher frequency, but I suspect not, assuming similar signal strengths for both.

This network card uses either Intel or Broadcom chips. So, you get away with using default drivers, you can also use the chip mfr drivers, or you could still use the HP software. If you are making use of an older server, you'll be fine. But if you have a newer server, I'd highly recommend using the Intel I350T4. It's a faster card if you need gigabit, or go with one of their 10Gbe cards. We purchased the NC364T for an older server.

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

i'm not a person who could endorse this product. I have this now, the edimax ew7811 utc ac600: Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Dual-Band USB Adapter, Mini Size Easy to Carry, Supports Both 11AC ( 5GHz Band ) and 11n ( 2.4GHz Band ) Wi-Fi Connectivity, Upgrades your PC / Laptop for Exceeding Streaming and Faster Downloadnot a single regret. it's been amazing, and at a better price.

Hello,well, the maximum bandwith provided by the PCI-E x16 gen 1.0 standard port; it is greater than the PCI-E x1 gen 1.0, and not having now many specifications on these standards on Wikipedia.org I have found about that for x1 slot the bandwith is 2.5 GB/s (250 MB/s) and for x16 slot it is 8 GB/s (? MB/s). I hope this is enough. Greetings,Massimo.

The included CD has the drivers for XP-SP3. Use this and you should not have trouble. My router is dual band too, but this device and adaptor only recognize the 2.4ghz. Also, make sure you have disabled any other wireless adaptors you have installed. I have a hardwired a/b/g adapter and had to disable the wifi adaptor. I did not have to uninstall the adaptor software I just made the D-link s/w the default. Hope this helps.

Hi! I searched the website of TP-Link and it says that is compatible with windows XP/Vista/& . The link is :http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WN821N#down. Also I did not buy this product for my windows desktop ,my model was TP-LINK TL-WN822N. And it only supports Windows too. I tested my model . It is not detected by Mac OS.

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, ($15.99) @ Amazon. Works far better than the tiny $25 one that Onkyo would like to sell you.

According to Intel (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/network-adapters/converged-network-adapters/ethernet-x540.html) it's PCIe 2.1. It's well-provisioned (2x the requisite bandwidth in fact) to support dual 10Gbit ports, even if both ports are fully saturated. At least from the PCIe bus perspective. Whether or not the host machine and/or the controller on this card can maintain that kind of rate is another matter.
