Praising the Buffalo
I picked up a new 802.11g card a couple of weeks ago and recently got around to installing it.
It's a PCI card that I use for my "server" PC downstairs in my office.
I previously had a Linksys card in there that was "Wireless G", which means not 802.11g standard and therefore not the best connection or throughput to my 802.11g router. In fact, Linksys didn't even have a software upgrade to make it a fully certfied 802.11g card - the perils of being on the cutting edge! Boo Linksys.
I picked up a Buffalo WLI PCI G54, which comes with a short PCI card and an external antenna and cable. This enables you to position the 802.11 antenna from behind the PC to a better location. The whole thing was only $27 at my local Fry's.
After opening the PC box it just took a few minutes to install. I booted up, loaded the driver CD and it worked like a charm, much faster than the old Linksys card. I placed the antenna up and away from the PC and mounted it on the office wall..
One of those rare, painless, upgrades.
