Why a Wireless LAN card ?

A wireless LAN card is an adapter that can be plugged into any PCI port on your desktop computer. With the LAN card, you can then access a local area network. This can be a boom to any office or home business, as you do not have to worry about running network cables. Right away, you've saved money and potentially avoided any safety issues with loose cables running around. If you are a home user, you can gain full mobility with your desktop computer and have it set up anywhere in the house.

What to look for in a Wireless LAN Card

The speed of access to your computer will vary depending on how old your technology is and the type of wireless network your LAN is a part of. Oler network protocols are 802.11b/g networks. An 802.11b network can transmit data at 11 Mbps. Although it is fast, it is generally the slowest today and there are fewer and fewer of these networks. If you have a small network, or do not really transmit a lot of data, this may be the type for you.

An 802.11g network is much faster than the 'b' network. A 'g' network enables a data transmission rate of up to 54 Mbps. Although you won't be carrying your desktop around to the coffee shop, public wireless hotspots to access the internet run on this protocol.

An 802.11n network is the fastest network speed you'll find anywhere. If you buy a wireless LAN card that is compatible with this type of network and your network runs by this protocol, you'll be transmitting and accessing data at up to an incredible 300 Mbps! If your business deals with large-scale data transmission (such as video conferencing), or if you enjoy home networked games, a LAN adapter that can transmit data at these speeds is a must. At this speed, you can be assured your data will remain seamless.

Many of the wireless LAN cards available today are compatible with all the major wireless networking protocols. If you buy and 'n' LAN card, you will generally be able to access both 'b' and 'g' networks as well, so you'll always have a good connection. Just remember, your data access speeds will be determined by the type of wireless network you are accessing.

Do you have a wireless LAN card but need more range? You may need an additional wireless antenna to give you that extra range and flexibility!
