Hi guys. Just got the internet running in my new place and realised I need a wireless card as the broadband box is now far away from my computer rather than next to it.

I have found these two products on amazon and was wondering which would be best to get. My broadband is up to 17mb/s.

It's the 300mbps one and the N900 Wireless Dual Band one.

I have no clue about wireless networking so thought I would ask here.

Thanks in advance!

If you have a dual band router, get a dual band wifi card to match.

Uhhh it's an EE BrightBox router I have the specs here:

4 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
1 USB 2.0 Host
Support PPPoE, PPPoA, RFC1483 Bridge
Traffic shaping (UBR/CBR/VBR)
OAM (I.610) F4/F5 support
Wireless IEEE802.11b/g/n
Wireless encapsulation WEP/WPA/WPA2
Wireless QoS, WMM (Wi-Fi Multi media)
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
Supports up-to 300 Mbps data transfer


I see at the bottom there it says supports up to 300mbps so I am going to assume I should just get the 300 one

Sounds like its single band - 2.4GHz. So that TP Link will be OK (or an Asus N15)
