WIFI card + Desktop = Eh!

I've never been a fan of internal WIFI on desktops. I bought this WIFI card when assembling my latest PC. My computer is in my basement and any normal laptop/tablet/smartphone gets a 100% connection without any problems. Same goes for this one. As long as you don't mind waiting here and there to reconnect. For some reason it seems to stay off after hibernation or right at PC startup or say "No internet connection" even when all other devices have no problem. My build has Windows 7 64 bit which I used. CD drive to install the drivers, after that I went to the Intel site to download the latest drivers. I'm still having problems, but once it works and the computer doesn't sleep or boot up, the WIFI card works 100% of the time at high speed with no problems. White! Basically every case on the market is black, at least the antenna in the package is sometimes white and sometimes black, now my case has a huge white spot on the side. I've attached photos of what it looks like. The card/WIFI disconnects for some strange reason after waking up the computer from sleep2. I think I found a solution for this, see below Fix Fix to disable card/WIFI1. Right-click My Computer2. Choose Manage3. Select "Device Manager"4. Expand Network Adapters and right-click Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 62055. Select "Properties" 6. Select the "Advanced" tab 7. Select "802.11n Mode8. In the view, next to the selection, use the drop-down menu and select Disabled9. click OK. These steps fixed my problem. Since then I've been using Windows 7 64 bit and have updated all drivers. I had no problems with signal loss.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
