Someone asked me about wireless adaptors for a computer

What is the difference between http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9094282.htm and http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=275799641

The second one is a mini wireless adaptor and has 300 mbps and the argos 54mbps. My eircom is 54mbps. is that ok or would a 300 one be better?

the tesco one isn't loading for me, but it's probably wireless n, if it's 300mbit, the difference is the 300 mbit one is faster with the same hardware, but it will still work with your 54mbit g equipment, so i'd go for that one if it's the same price.

Wtf Argos? 50 quid for a wireless g dongle, rip off.

@op the Tesco one for 20 is the one you want, it's newer technology wireless n, would be a better investment in case you ever upgrade the router. Wireless n is backward compatible with g

The Samsung description is rubbish

Wireless standards a/b/g/n. but transfer speed only up to 54Mbps??

Isn't that a specific wifi adaptor say for a smart tv etc?

Got a dual band in argos for €22 last week.
