Reviews & Ratings for XTreme N PCIE DT Adapter - Wireless Draft 802.11n My HP PC's Ethernet died, leaving me to look for a new NIC. As the system only has PCIe slots, and I have a wireless-N router, the choice of this card wasn't too hard. The fact that it's one of a very few PCIe / N NIC's helped. I was very pleased when the adapter installed and ran flawlessly in both Vista64 and XP32. Signal strength is good (93%) but my Router is only a room away, so I can't say I'm pushing the distance.

Reviews & Ratings for XTreme N PCIE DT Adapter - Wireless Draft 802.11n Can't get it to have more than a weak signal 50' and 3 walls away from my router. I thought it might be better than my G router. Still, one of the first to offer in PCIe (I think there are more available now)
