Hi folks.
I have had 50 meg service for quite a while now and although generally happy with it have found that when downloading, my speed would fluctuate wildly when using wireless. My laptop has an intenal pci wireless card, type g so couldnt deliver n type speeds, I hate the USB dongle that comes with WNR2000 netgear router, sticks out to much and is easily broken, as i found out. It also gave varied speeds. I bought a netgear wireless laptop card WN511B, an improvement but still speed would show about 30mbps then drop to zero then climb then drop. Bought a buffalo mini usb adapter, very small in size and unfortunately also very small in performance. Then last week whilst browsing, i found that i could upgrade the wireless card in the laptop to a type n, Bought an INTEL WIRELESS 4965AGN 802.11N 300MBPS MINI PCI-E CARD (apologies for caps but i pasted that in) from a seller on Ebay for £14.99 and what a difference. The card took about 2 minutes to replace. My internal card had 2 antenna, this n card comes with an additional one that just clips on in same way as the original 2 to give it true MiMo, Now when downloading from newsgroups i regularly hit 50 mbps and have full 5 bars showing constantly for signal strength. Well worth considering for anyone frustrated with their connection at moment. I wouldnt normally post an ebay dealer but the link is here, i have never used ebay before, dont trust it, but i bought as a guest using paypal, card was delivered within 2 days, OK i know i sound like a salesman but if you search for my other posts you will see i have posted before about poor speeds etc, so happy to try and help other users improve their speeds.
