No. This is the card that they no longer sell due to performance issues. It probably does fine in your network, but that just means it does fine for you. That $45 card (today) is what they sold for $125 (back then). When I ordered a card from them (this same card) a few years ago, I paid the $125. At that time, the card I purchased was selling (I can't remember where) for about $85. They only got about a $40 "premium" for keeping the warranty on my $5k router in tact. Seems like a no brainer to me, but I can't speak for anyone else... -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
