Sky SR102 and Network card

[BroadbandKing]

At the moment my laptop only runs at 65Mbps despite it being having a dual band network card and being able to run at 135Mbps.
This is because the SR102 Hub only has a single band, capable of 144Mbps.

Will the following:

Intel® Wireless-N 7260 Plus Bluetooth*: Product Brief

Allow me to run my laptop at the maximum of 144Mbps using the Sky Hub?

Many thanks in advance for any help......

It should do, provided you have the necessary aerial connections. Have a look at this one, it looks good if it fits your laptop.

Unless the OP replaces the router with an AC model swapping the card to the AC version of the card they already have isn't going to achieve diddly squat.

As far as I can tell the 7260N is 2x2:2 in both TX and RX so should be cable of 130Mbit/s on a 20Mhz channel (144Mbit/s with SGI) so as to why it's reporting 65Mbit/s I'm not sure.

Might be worth checking it's not gone into some stupid powersave mode.

As its a laptop, there is a good chance it will be logging into other networks, many of which could be AC compatible. It will not help with the present Sky router, but it will with its replacement.

He has not got this adapter at present, he is asking if it would give him a higher connection speed, which it should. Why spend money upgrading to old technology when you can get the latest for a few pounds more?

Yes I have not got the 7260 installed but as Isitme states I am looking at a card that can give me faster speeds, for just a few quid more, it is definitely worth getting the AC model which will allow me to use it on future wireless networks.
