hField Technologies Wi-Fire Wi-Fi Adapter

We sometimes get so caught up in the excitement of the next big thing we throw the baby out with the bathwater. Based on the performance of the Wi-Fire Wi-Fi adapter, that might just be the case with IEEE 802.11g wireless routers. If you value range over throughput, this is the Wi-Fi adapter for you. This ungainly device doesn't rely on MIMO or IEEE 8011.n, it doesn't even require a PCMCIA slot. When we plugged it into the notebook USB 2.0 port, it delivered unbelievable range with a year-old...

Sonnet Extreme Aria

Most current Mac models include an AirPort wireless card that supports the latest high speed 802.11n wireless format. However there are plenty of relatively recent Macs that shipped with older 802.11g card in them. You can upgrade your Mac’s wireless capabilities by installing Sonnet’s new Aria Extreme-n wireless card. The Aria is the same size as Apple’s AirPort cards, so it can replace the AirPort card in most Mac models, such as the Mac mini or iMac. You’d need to be pretty brave to dismantle a Mini yourself, though, so the Aria is probably best suited to more upgradeable models such as the Mac Pro or MacBook Pro.
