When I purchase it; I thought I had a Express Card slot on my Thinkpad but after the purchase of the Express Card; I found out that did not; so I purchased an Express Card to PCMCIA Adapter which fits the Express Card into PCMCIA adopter card and make it possible to use. The adopter has not come in yet but I am curious at what the speed will be. I am hoping it will be at least 100mps using an "N" router from Qwest.

In other words; will it go faster then the 54MPS of my current modem PCMCIA 802.11a/b/g Card and if so, can it do the max of 300MPS ?

Thanks.

Too many variables to answer that one as a definite yes/yes. In other words there are too many things that can impact connection and speed in wireless to say, "yes, you will get xxxmbs from this setup, until you set it up and test it out. Change range/channel/and tweak some settings in the router,and on the pc to see what you can get. It most likely will be faster than 54Mbps, and should cross 100Mbps.
