Talk:Wifi Cards

For earlier versions of the Wind U100 which came with the Wireless G card, the upgrade to 802.11N is relatively painless if using the MSI MN11BGN card which is the actual card used in the later Winds. This card is also known as 1T2R, which I believe is the chipset. It may also be known as MS-6890. I bought one brand new in box very reasonably on eBay, used the tutorial on this site and the drivers from the MSI Wind downloads page. One installation note, the antenna cables will have more length to take up than before, be careful routing them so they don't get pinched.

If doing this, one very important change to make in Windows is to disable the power saving features of the card in the Device Manager. See this thread: MSI Wind - Page 178 In my version of the Advanced tab, the option was Power Saving and I changed it from PSP-MAX to CAM. Original source was the MSI Wind forum but it is now down. If you do not do this, the symptoms I observed were that the wireless connection would work for some time, 10-20 minutes, then the speed would suddenly display slower in the taskbar, and the connection would be effectively dead. Disabling and enabling the hardware through Device Manager worked to bring the connection back. Using the FN+Wireless key did not bring the connection back though.

I wish someone would roll this information into the Wiki main page....
