TP-LINK TL-WN781ND 150Mbps Wireless N PCI Network Interface Card

I found this appropriate over conventional USB dongles. The dongles protrudes out of your desktops and unless you desktop is tucked away you may occasionally bump into in unknowingly, I had a couple of instance so I thought the why not utilize the inbuilt mini PCI express slot available in the mother board itself. That's when I ordered this and it solved almost all my issues except coverage, as I have my desktop in guest room even though the router is in the guest room I had coverage issues and signal dropping, since it was adding more to my issues I thought was my decision wise enough to switch from USB to internal? But sooner than later I found the solution, I bought the TPLINK TL-ANT2405C 5 dbi antenna extension and bingo! it solved my coverage issue and now I have full 5 bars always.

Great card! For gaming PCs, getting a PCI WLAN card is not advised - PCI ports are either under your graphics card cooler OR a card in a PCI port will block one of the fans on your graphics card since the PCI slot is long. A PCIe WLAN card is a rather rare find (this is the only one available on Flipkart so far) and is much better suited for a gaming PC since it's much smaller and will fit into any PCI Express slot - x1, x4 or x8/x16, so you can choose where you'll place it on your mainboard as to not prevent airflow to/from the graphics card. Moreover: - it has a 3 year warranty (most PCI/PCIe peripheral cards only have 1) - it is identified by Windows 7 as Atheros-based WLAN card right away and you don't even need to install the drivers from the included CD (if your OS doesn't recognize the card, DO install the drivers but do it through the Device Manager unless you want their useless "WLAN utility" installed as well... who needs ANOTHER WiFi managing utility when Windows already has one inbuilt and its capabilities are more than enough for 90% users? THIS is why Windows is notorious for bloatware... 3rd party bloatware /rant) - it has a detachable antenna, so you can always swap it out for a bigger one if you need better signal quality - IIRC, it came with a mini-bracket for smaller cases - low price (compared to some D-Link WLAN cards, for instance... which are not even PCIe but PCI and only have 1 year warranty) Really, this is a great WLAN card. Make sure you have a free PCIe slot (preferably x1 or x4 since you normally need x16 for graphics card or something like that) and go for it.

Flipkart Review: Flipkart delivered this product in 1 and a half day (I live in Hyderabad) and packaging was good as always... Now on to the product review... I don't know much about WLAN Cards and NICs... I bought this one to create a Wi-Fi Hotspot at my home to share my PC's internet with my Mobile and other Wi-Fi devices. I used an application called ' Connectify ' to do so...and it worked just fine.150 Mbps is more than enough for us in India right now,you won't need an upgrade for at least 6-7 years,maybe. This card is small when compared to other Wlan cards which use PCI slots,it requires a PCI-E slot and does not disturb the Graphics Card which is usually on the PCI-E x16 slot. Windows 8 recognized this immediately when I plugged it in and installed the drivers for me (No need to install the drivers from the CD,unless you have Windows Vista or older OS) It has a detachable antenna so that you can replace the stock antenna with a stronger antenna,the stock antenna is enough If you want to connect to other WiFi devices in your house. I got what I needed at an affordable price. Trust me on this one..all those who said "Internet will run slow and disconnect frequently after sometime" probably exceeded their FUP and having internet connection problem.Internet slowing down has nothing to do with this card unless you are using Wi-FI to surf Internet So, 5 Stars
