Hi!

I think that I will order in the US!!

Cheers,

Hey Rodrigo, if you don't need the speed (450mbps) you may find the TL-WN881ND (300mbps) for half that price. I bought mine in Cordoba for around U$S 40 a week ago and I'm sure it's even cheaper in BsAs. The only thing you need to do is add the Device ID to a kext and it will work as this one.

I have one as well. I just plugged it in and it worked.

Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3112)
Firmware Version: Atheros 9380: 4.0.64.8-P2P

I'm pretty far away from the router and using the stock antennas couldn't get a good signal. I added a TP-LINK TL-ANT2408C and then I got a great signal.

Well, it's a high-end, dual-band, MIMO Wi-Fi card, what do you expect, free?

Sounds good but thats a lot of money to pay just for a wifi card! Here in the uk its £31!

saw this card mentioned in another post, purchased, and can also confirm its working like a champ!

now time to upgrade to a 802.11n router! any suggestions?
