Wireless N PCI Express Dual-Band Mini Half-Height Card (TPE-NHMPCIED)

Wireless N PCI Express Dual-Band Mini Half-Height Card (TPE-NHMPCIED)

This item is only available from our US warehouse. There is little difference between this card and our other model. The price difference reflects availability and this card should not be utilized in newer roll outs due to limited stock/availability. It's intended for corporate customers who may not be able to switch parts easily- or it is otherwise costly to do so. It is also good for those who are dual-booting and need a card compatible with newer versions of Microsoft Windows (drivers exist for Microsoft Windows 10).

The Penguin Wireless N PCI Express Dual-Band Mini Half-Height Card is perfect for use in routers and other devices needing AP mode / master mode support via hostapd.

  • Speeds up to 300Mbps

  • Dual-band 2.4 & 5 Ghz

  • Support for most popular and libre (free) distributions

  • Not dependent on NDISWrapper, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware

Notice: Many Apple, HP, Lenovo, IBM, Dell, and Toshiba branded products are defective by design. They use digital restrictions management technology and proprietary connectors to limit what hardware may be installed. This is usually a digital restriction in the BIOS that prevents the otherwise standards compliant half height Mini PCIe slot from accepting anything but wifi cards sold by the PC manufacturer. If you have a problem with this please contact support to return or exchange the product within 14 days. For impacted users we recommend a USB wifi card instead.
