Rosewill USB WiFi adapter $13 AC FS

[Zap]

Rosewill RNX-N180UBE
$19.99
free shipping
$7 off w/ promo code EMCNBJN95, ends 8/12

RTL8191SU chipset (common enough)
MIMO 300M 1T2R (not 150M)
5dBi RP-SMA antenna
USB extension with stand

This is a few bucks cheaper than before, and about the cheapest I've seen this kind of adapter (300M with external antenna) regardless of brand or lack thereof. I have a few of these and they have always worked well.

1T2R means it can download at 300mbs but windows is still going to report this as a 150m adapter because thats all the speed you can upload at.

for $2 more, this destroys yours. sorry 😉 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA

Hey, I actually own a couple of those too!

I like the Rosewill because of the RP-SMA connector and the included high gain antenna. It also gets fewer complaints than the Cisco Valet in the end user reviews, FWIW.

the only trouble i have with my am10's is the 2.4ghz band. i live next to 40 some wireless hotspots... its just a clusterfrick. i suppose the external antenna might help with that.

the built-in install drivers is just too sweet though. if you ever find any more adapters that do like the valet does let me know. it has saved me a few times already, and i wished they had these things years ago. ive spent hours before trying to get wifi working just to get a new pc online so i can get the updates going...
