PCIe dual-band wireless adapter

The YINGHUA WAE3422 is a PCI Express wireless adapter that delivers dual-band 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity with a peak throughput of 300 Mbps. It fits a standard PCIe slot and includes two SMA 2 dBi antennas for 2T2R operation. The card measures approximately 9.50 by 6.00 cm and comes with a 30 cm Bluetooth-compatible line. It supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2 security standards.

Desktop builders adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

This adapter suits users upgrading a desktop PC that has a free PCIe slot and wants both wireless LAN and Bluetooth-compatible connectivity in one card. It works with Windows XP through 10 and Linux without extra hardware. Builders whose motherboard lacks a PCIe slot or who need speeds above 300 Mbps should consider other solutions.

300 Mbps peak throughput decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 300 Mbps peak throughput. If your network plan or usage demands higher wireless bandwidth, this card will not meet that requirement. For basic dual-band access at this speed tier it matches the spec directly.
