    I am thinking of updating my wireless card as the one that came with my comp is junk, (no offense Dell). Anyways, I am just wondering if anyone else has done this, and what is the fastest card I can upgrade to?

    Thanks

    Some are going for the Yetty or Bigfoot or whatever it is. Good reports so far!

    Many have been happy with intel 6200/6300 but several have had issues. I am in this camp. Went with 6200 to replace damaged stocker and in my case bad enough to disable and use dongle.

    Maybe better to consider what you are connecting to and what it supports. If you are always at home and its a non-N based AP then no point. Ditto for many coffee shops but this depends on the area.
