Title: Wireless N technology for a Dell laptop Inspiron 1525
Post by: andyhx on July 29, 2009, 20:37

Hi
Any advice appreciated about the best choice of Wireless N router for home use with an Inspiron 1525 with mini WLAN card that only works with 8.01b/g.
thanks
Andy

Rik will be your best one for this (probably), and he won't be around until the morning now, Andy.  :)

There's a good selection here< (http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopSearch.asp?CategoryID=389).

I occasionally work along side a network company and they swear by Draytek, but that's for commercial situations.

Draft N is backward compatible so Your network card will work with the draft n router but only perform at the cards speed.

You could upgrade your card to this< (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=A2579845) (best double check that's the right card for your laptop) if you wanted the full draft N experience which would give you longer range and faster networking.


edit: This one gives you a USB adaptor if you didn't want to change your laptops card http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=7260 (http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=7260)
