Do you want a new wireless card in your laptop or desktop PC? Last year Intel released their first 802.11ac wireless card and you can purchase one for under $30, which makes it a rather inexpensive upgrade for your system. The vast majority of laptops and desktops that already support wireless network cards and the existing antennas can be reused. This means that you can easily upgrade your 802.11n or older wireless card with a newer 802.11ac card if you wanted to do so. Intel came out with five new wireless cards in 2013. Today we’ll be trying out the cost effective Intel Wireless-N 7260 card versus the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card. This pits the cheapest part versus the most expensive, but we just wanted to see how the real world performance differs at different distances in the home.

Hello,

Nice article on the 7260ac One question. Did you solely use 802.11n (2.4/5GHz) for your test? The article mentions an Asus ac router. Was it set to use only "n" for the test? There wasn't a mention of connecting using "ac" and the test numbers using the 7260ac show connection at "n" speeds. Am I correct about this?
