OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Abit is taking wireless to the next level with their AirPace PCI-e adapter. The AirPace takes advantage of PCI-e's dedicated data path to eliminate any internal bottlenecks in moving data. The remote antenna maximizes range and speed by getting the antenna out from behind your PC and letting you mount it for best reception.

The Wireless AP software lets you make your network wireless without having to buy a wireless router. When used in conjunction with abit's AirPace Music you can stream music to your main music system.

WEP and WPA encryption algorithms are included to protect your data. A secure network also guards your bandwidth by preventing unauthorized users from piggybacking onto your connection.

Amazing Card

white Reviewed By: money11465 on 5/6/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I am very impressed. It's fast, uses PCIe (so I have one more PCI slot free), and has amazing range. Great detached antenna, from a pretty reputable company, and looks pretty cool. It has an AP mode, which probably means it likely has the famous Prism 2/2.5 chipset. It has a nice, unintrusive utility which doesn't take over your networking, but gives you some relatively important information.
Cons: None whatsoever. This is a perfect product so far in my opinion.
Other Thoughts: Used this in a friend's build. He said he had to put his previous adapter on a shelf because of bad signal strength, but this card got 98% in the same place. We took it down because he didn't like how the antenna looked. Got 96% after.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works great out of box--great price especially with rebate. No problem installing on Windows XP system. External antenna nice addition. Great reception--much better than older original Belkin adapter.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: Only regrets are purchasing a 54 mbps adapter and just upgraded to a 108 Mbps router but have not noticed any problems with speed since only using this for internet access.

Outstanding

white Reviewed By: Snake91839 on 8/21/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Absolutely wonderful product. I am on the second floor and my router is in the basement and I still get more than 90% signal. Also comes with some very cool utilities that show some information and allow you to control your computer as an AP.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: My PCI-E x1 slot is right under my video card, but because this is so small, it doesn't pose any problem with cooling at all. Great Product. Get it.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat low - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent signal strength, discrete profile, it fills the almost useless PCI-E 1x slot on my mobo.
Cons: Included drivers are useless in Vista, do not even attempt to install them! Even though the abit website has ZERO mention of this product anywhere, go to the forums and find the airpace products section. There people have posted the proper Vista drivers. Install that and then you're home free.
Other Thoughts: Awful support from abit, I do not like having to rely on the technical prowess of other users for fixing something that the company should have easily done.
