Wireless cards labeled with "Wi-Fi" will usually work with our network. To take advantage of encryption, the card should support WPA and the ‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘g’ or "n" standard. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that all cards will work on our network.

Best - For the best performance, we recommend choosing a wireless adapter which supports the 802.11n/a/g standards. These devices can achieve performance, up to 270 Mbs and are best able to deal with radio interference.


Better - For better performance, we recommend choosing a wireless adapter which supports both the 802.11n/g standards. These devices can achieve a better performance (up to 130 Mbs).
