  • Three antennas for increased wireless performance and stability

It has the same chipset with TP-Link WDN4800. The reason of I like this model because it is cheaper than TL-WDN4800.

  • Supports ad-hoc and infrastructure mode
3. D-Link DWA556
The D-Link DWA556 has been discontinued so the price will be so high. It is the best choice if you are running Snow Leopard on your desktop machine.
  • Interface: PCI Express x1
  • Wireless Transmission Speed: 54Mbps
  • Wireless Technology: IEEE 802.11b/g
  • Custom heatsink dissipates heat for more stable and reliable non-stop operation.
