WTB: Enginus EMP-8602 Plus-S wifi

looking to buy for my CF-18, if you have one let me know also i have 2 complete 18's and a 73 to part out. and have oem 18 gps module. [email protected]

 

I'm shooting myself in the foot here as I know they will soon be sold out again as I post this... But wlanparts.com has the best price at $40USD for the 600mW Engenous wifi card. They just got restocked too.,

 

what's the difference besides the n band between this card and the engenius 9701?

 

You should Google Draft N and ABG cards.....



The fact is that "supposedly" if you have the support.... Draft N is faster... But Ive still never seen card in a 28/29 that could beat the Engenous 600mW card... especially with an enhanced antenna stem!

 

I want to mention another vendor, one that I have no connection with other then as a customer. The company is Flytec-USA.com and they gave me a good bit better deal on the Engenius EMP-8602+S Mini-PCI Adapter at $35 and shipped like lighting.

If I am stepping on a supporting vendor's toes here please delete this!

 

Delete this?

Bookmarked in IE for future reference
Best prices around

AZ, We have no supporting vendors. We are all basically sl^ts (what is it with the profanity filter on here?) for the cheapest price and or the best service.

any one got opne for saleive got 25 cash and a hole bunch of 18 parts

 

Email sent to trade my EMP-8602 for your OEM GPS.

 

Well I am sorry that I did not post it here sooner. I thought that I read something about it being verboten to link to a vendor.

 

I just incidentally ordered from Fly-tec a EMP-8602+S on Wednesday. See how fast their shipping is. I can't take the 2200 card anymore, I get a signal drop at least once a minute with that thing.

 

Anyone have any idea what the mW rating is on the EMP-9701 Wireless MIMO Mini-PCI 802.11n, I have draft N router in my house but I still might go with the EMP-8602 if it has longer range, any input?

 

Very good question Connor. I would like some input on this too. Below is the datasheet on both cards , if that helps.

Four ways to get the most from your 802.11n Wi-Fi
ZDNet

In theory, 802.11n can zip by your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet at a real-world 160Mbps, but the practice it’s usually much slower. No, the Wi-FI vendors aren’t lying; the problem is that you have to set 802.11n up just right to really get fast performance.

First, you need to make sure that you’re using up-to-date 802.11n hardware. Older 802.11n equipment, built before the 802.11n standard was finalized in late 2009, may not work and play well with your newer devices. There were many 802.11n draft access points (APs), network interface cards (NICs) and chipsets and each vendor used its own best guess on what the standard would eventually look like.

Thanks to all this older, not quite standard 802.11n hardware, we have two problems. The first is that some older hardware, unless the firmware can be upgraded, won’t work at full 802.11n speeds with your newer standardized equipment. The other is that you can be almost certain that older APs, switches, or routers from one vendor won’t work well with another vendor’s equipment. Oh, it may look like it’s working, but if you check you’ll often find that your Wi-Fi’s connection is only running at 802.11g’s 54Mbps.

Of course, if your office is like most, you almost certainly still have a lot of 802.11g compatible laptops in work. You might think that since 802.11n is backwards compatible with 802.11g that you’ll do just fine by replacing your 802.11g APs with 802.11n hardware. You’d be wrong.

802.11n AP will support 802.11g client hardware just fine, but letting 802.11n AP support 802.11g comes with a painful performance hit. While 802.11n devices working in the 2.4GHz band are backwards compatible with 802.11g, or even 802.11b, faster 802.11n equipment will lose about its potential speed. So, instead of seeing say 100Mbps of throughput from 802.11n AP to the 802.11n laptops, you’ll only see 50Mbps.
