Talk:Wireless network interface controller

Hi people! If anyone know what card has the best range, please talk here ;)

Speed and range

If one wanted a fast wireless card that can transmit over a far distance, would there any other specs to look for other than Wireless Data Transfer Rates (measured in Mbps) and Wireless Transmit Power (measured in dBm)? 71.63.88.166 00:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's no mention of Wi-Fi...or does "Wireless network interface card" include cards for networks that use say, bluetooth or some other standard? Jason McHuff (talk) 12:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

if one wanted a fast wireless card I would recomend reading about PCI cards instead of USB. USB transfers data in a serial fashion and has no dedicated bus but PCI Express can transfer at 16x and has its own bus... Jmchuff Wireless internet uses radio waves they travle further than blue tooth witch uses infrared and relies on line off sight look at IEEE 802.15 personal area networkurName (talk) 13:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bullshit! Bluetooth is wireless. andy (talk) 16:44, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Wifi

This article is wrong under this title: It deals only with Wifi and does not mention other technologies. It is misleading, since it the reader is lead to believe, that all Wireless NICs are Wifi. It should be merged into Wifi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schioebe (talk • contribs) 06:45, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WiFi

Yes andy bluetooth is wireless but WiFi has nothing to do with this article WiFi is one of several organization that set standard for electronics without a set of standards nothing would be compatible like if I bought a netgear router and a linksys wireless card they would not work together becaue they are made by two different manufacture that probably use different standards WiFi is a logo that means the product is cirtified by WiFi IEEE is also a standard making organization Hence the 802.15 standard for Bluetooth IEEE 802.11 is IEEE's standard for wireless if you buy a product cirtified by one such organization you can rest knowing that for the most part it is compatible with other compatible equipment.
