Product Description

The TL-WN861N Wireless N Mini PCI Adapter complies with IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11b standards. Wireless transmission rates can reach up to 300Mbps. The Mini PCI card adopts 2*2 MIMO technology providing even better wireless performance, transmission rates, stability and coverage. At the same time, CCA technology automatically avoids channel conflicts using its channel selection feature. This product supports 64/128/152-bit WEP encryptions, as well as WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryptions and mechanisms in addition to the adapter´s QSS (Quick Secure Setup) feature, allowing users to quickly and easily configure wireless security. This product can also simultaneously operate bandwidth intensive applications such as voice and video. Applications using a lot of bandwidth that are sensitive to interruptions such as voice and video applications are given priority in order to assure quality. It also works well with other 11g and 11n protocol wireless products.

This product worked well in my Dell Inspiron laptop... note however, that the TL-WN861N only has two antenna connections, and the picture attached to this description incorrectly shows the TL-WN961N which requires three antenna connections. It appears that a number of the Amazon retailers have this incorrect picture (TL-WN961N) shown when they are describing/selling the TL-WN861N. If you need two antenna connections this (TL-WN861N) is the unit for you. If your PC has the option of connecting a third antenna for extended range you may wish to verify with the seller that you are getting the correct card.

Installed this in a WEBDT 366. Replacing the intel btg 2000 card that was in it. The difference has been night and day! No more continues connection drops and its SO much faster on the internet too. Drivers were not supplied by the vendor, but they supply the link so they are easily found. Installed on XP PRO along with the utility which I really didn't need too. I am 100% happy with this WiFi network card!!!
