Aria Extreme N Wi-fi Pci Card Review

PROS : It doesn't hurt small furry animals.CONS: It wont do 802.11n , the software sucks, doesn't show up in the airport icon , needs pci software even to wo9rk in G mode which is the only mode it will work in. It can't find the 2.4ghz N network or the 5 ghz N , the support staff arrogant and abusive. Dont even bother writing them it's a waste of time.

With my oldAria Extreme G card it worked terrifically, it showed up in the airport icon and ran teriific, unfortunately this isa 180% Not only the Aria Extreme Nhard to connect, it does not show up in the airport icon, it has to use a PCI Card Utility to find the network and speeds average no better than a $14 G card .When my802.11n Airport Extreme base is set on any single N channelit can't find the base at all soI wrote Sonnetand this is what came back.

We would be more than happy to advise you if you could be so kind as to write us a civil note.
Sincerely,

For those in wonder my note said "Help , it's not working " ! Nothing like hiringcrazy people with emotional issuesto take out on customers . How much more lucky can I be today now I've got this fakeSonnetNcard ? I have to deal with a nut job Sheesh ! .Don't buy this card folks , the hassle in dealing isn't worththe baby sitting fee. Update: After a bunch of sleuthing I discovered the reason that the card is not recognized in Tiger, there is no support for N , nottill the OSX 10.5.7 . If you run OSX Tiger forget it. Oh, and if you have other computers on your network you will lose access. Not worth it at all.
