cougartrace Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Is there any pros/cons to using a USB wireless G adapter versus using a wireless card?
zivan56 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yes there are. The PCI cards will always have a lower latency between the card and the bus. Also, if you buy a 802.11g USB adapter with a usb 1.1 interface or a usb 1.1 port, the speed will be limited to 11mbps (which is the speed of 802.11b). USB adapters should be avoided, as they do not provide the same connection quality/throughput as the PCI card version.
TomcaT Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 USB adapters should be avoided, as they do not provide the same connection quality/throughput as the PCI card version.What about the USB 2 standard?
gamehead200 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 For laptops, use PCMCIA cards... For desktops, use PCI cards... Easy as that!
