I be traveling recently, and generally, I can get wireless connectivity via my laptop and its internal (I'm guessing Intel's) Wi-Fi card. However, the other afternoon in Georgia, I wasn't competent to get any signal, despite the certainty that people around me be surfing the web in recent times fine. The guy next to me suggested that possibly an external wireless card would work, and lent me his to try for that moment to test. Lo and behold, it worked!!
So, the sound out is, was he of late lucky with his external wireless card hypothesis, or, is it a standard fact that external cards mostly work better than internal cards?
Many thanks contained by advance for your input!! :)
Does an external wireless card work better / carry a stronger signal than an internal wireless card?
In broad, yes... but not always. Most external (PCMCIA) wireless cards will pick up a stronger signal than those built contained by to a laptop but you will always find the eccentric model that's been designed scantily or very okay which would lead to the built contained by wireless performing better. There may have be other factors at play too, if you've solitary got an 802.11b card and they have an 802.11g card then that could also explain the difference.
