Questions about this item

Does my laptop have a PCI Express Half Mini Card slot for the 7KGX9?

The 7KGX9 uses a PCI Express Half Mini Card interface, so the laptop must provide that exact slot.

Will the 1030 card work in an older Dell that only supports 802.11b and 802.11g?

The adapter supports 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n, so it will connect at the older standards if the router or laptop limits the link.

How do I confirm the 270 Mbps link rate is active after installing the 7KGX9?

Open the wireless connection status in Windows 7 and verify the reported speed shows 270 Mbps.
