Differences in the selection of wireless network cards for different terminals

The previous article introduced the basic content of the wireless network card and the classification of the internal and external wireless network card. Different terminals have different types of wireless network interfaces. Next, we will introduce you to the analysis of different wireless network adapters selected by the three terminals.

Wireless Network Adapter Selection: desktop PC-PCI, USB wireless network adapter

Because desktop computers do not need to move, they do not have high requirements on the shape, size, and weight of the network card. Therefore, you can select a wireless network card for the PCI interface, this type of NIC is also the lowest price. However, the installation is relatively complex. You need to open the chassis for installation. Some products expose antennas outside the chassis, while some products are built-in. In terms of performance alone, it is better for external antenna products. In addition, the desktop computer can also choose a wireless network card with a USB interface to use it as a peripherals, but the price of the USB network card will be higher, however, the plug-and-play function of USB can be used to facilitate installation. Consumers can select a wireless network card type for their desktops based on their actual conditions.

Wireless Network Adapter Selection: Laptop-PCMCIA, USB wireless network adapter

A laptop is also called a laptop. as its name implies, mobility is its biggest feature. Therefore, a laptop has the highest requirement for wireless NICs, regardless of its appearance, or strict compatibility requirements. The wireless network card itself depends on the laptop to survive, because most users choose the wireless network card because its terminal is a laptop. PCMCIA wireless network card is easy to assemble and disassemble, and does not add too much weight, is the ideal combination of the current laptop. Because of the high mobility of the laptop, it may be interconnected in multiple regions, so compatibility becomes the final factor. USB wireless network card is also playing an important role as a complementary product of wireless network card for laptop computers.

Wireless Network Adapter Selection: PDA-CF wireless network adapter

The development of PDA is very rapid. In some fields, it can even replace laptops. With the explosive increase of people's demand for information, PDA must be interconnected. Therefore, CF wireless network card was born, because most PDAs have CF memory card interfaces, CF wireless network cards can be popularized quickly. Through the CF wireless network card, the PDA product has a broader space to play.
