cougartrace Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Is there any pros/cons to using a USB wireless G adapter versus using a wireless card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted September 10, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamehead200 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 For laptops, use PCMCIA cards... For desktops, use PCI cards... Easy as that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
