She works

TP-LINK TL-WN951N Wireless N300 Advanced PCI Adapter, 300Mbps, w/WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2
TP-LINK TL-WN951N Wireless N300 Advanced PCI Adapter, 300Mbps, w/WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2

Pros: Works great. Better then a Linksys PCI and a Amped Wireless USB. Same location same hardware 3rd party antennas used on all tests. Non official drivers work great as well. Atheros 5008 chipset

Cons: No real ability to customize tx output power or RTS and such while under vista + os. So your stuck with its auto settings witch is a bit of a downer as with other brands I have tried regedits do work and can override what the card desides it wants to work with while using vista + WMI support for vista+ is non exist. Might be due to the ndi 6. Same problem with the other cards as well.

Overall Review: Bought it for usage with 3rd party antennas. Wishes for official wmi nds support. Wishes for xp features with their software for vista +

Not to shabby

Amped Wireless UA600-CA High Power Wireless-300N 600mW USB Adapter
Amped Wireless UA600-CA High Power Wireless-300N 600mW USB Adapter

Pros: 600mw of power Fair compact design Chipset by realtek RP-SMA Connector Perdy blue led light

Cons: 1 egg for "Amped" usb connector not working. 1 egg for support not returning staff submited ticket (3 working days into it) RMA hassle now :/

Overall Review: Am a owner of the LinkSys WMP-600 PCI. Was a bit iffy with the whole usb adaptor deal and even with only one usb plug drawing in 500mw of power the drivers from realtek where able to properly neg 18/18 link speeds where the LinkSys|RALink chipset would only do 54|18|6 rates and disconnect alot. While I have a higher db rate of -42db stedy (Realtek) Where I have had a -32 fluxing rate of up to -41db (RALink) I'm still content with the buy of the amped device. However alittle disapointed that it didn't work as should out of the box and I now have to RMA it.

Defected.. Or Just Unsafe?

Pros: All in one (at this time) card reader witch has its applications for not having to create yourself a chocking hassard at your work station with usb to x to read your devices memory cards

Cons: Would have been cool to see this in a 5.25

Overall Review: I like that its a single usb as it uses something given common on modern motherboard. Excessive USB internal leads!
