Not worth? Worth it?

Re:I switched from intel 2200b/g to atheros 6002x, and let me tell you, it's a world of difference.

Finds signals that the intel never saw, signal strength is stronger, I get better speeds.

But the intels have been a hit and miss (mostly miss from what I've been reading)

Re:at one time i had a 100 mw cisco 350 pcmcia card, it was a noticable difference, but my concern with those 400mw ones is how clean is the signal, i mean sure i can put a 1 watt amp on my pci linksys card, but it wont come close to the singal quality of my cisco pci 350 card with the same amp…yes i know those are old cards, and yes im aware that a 1 watt amp on a 100 mw card is scating teh edge of the legal limit for that sprectum… but i can still do it

Re:800mW into a Laptop LOL.

Of the Normal PCMCIA this is very good, and it can be fitted with External Antenna if necessary.

Re:I think the Atheros and Intel are pretty equivelant. I like the ACU for configuration of a single laptop, I like the Intel Admin tool/profile .exe builders better for mass rollouts

Atheros make a line of mini-pci cards with outrageous power, designed to go in dedicated radio enclosures with real antennas. Some folks put them into laptops, even though it is a bad idea, according to atheros.

? Don't most of the new laptops have the Athernos card now? I just wanted to know if I would actually see any noticable difference with range compared to my current one. Especially that 2X range technology they refer to.
