    Hello ,

    I can have for a good price a Killer N Wireless 1102 , do people here already tried that card on a G74 ?

    Does it have any known compatibility issue ?

    Thanks for sharing your experience here :)

    Yes it will work, any wireless adapter will work in the G74, performance will vary depending on the adapter and the number of antennas of course.

    The version i saw is the two antenna , if anybody already tried this model , just share performance difference between the stock one ! ( wich seems to be the " first price " from atheros , compared to Killer N wich is " high end " )

    The killer N performs mostly like an Intel 6200 and i can tell you there is a difference in terms of signal quality and overall throughput. However, the increase in performance might not be felt by everyone.

    you shouldnt go with 1102 , because its same as 6230 ,
    if you go with 1103 , then you could feel the diffrence,
    but you have to hook up and new aerial. buy one from ebay mount it to the side of your screen ,i mean inside.

    The 1102 doesn't have bluetooth integrated if i recall correctly, which makes it closer to the 6200 than the 6230. Between the 1102 and the 6200, get whichever is cheaper.
