Networking isn't exactly my strong suit, but its making more sense now. I know I'm not gonna get speeds that my ISP/router can't deliver, but my concern is that regardless, the PCI card is slow(er)...

The spec. says the antenna connector type is RP-SMA. Perhaps search ebay with keywords like "RP-SMA antenna 18dbi" will give you some answers. Though I would check and make sure the connector type is...

9 dBi seems ok, but the reviews are pretty bad. I would see if you can find something cheaper on ebay, just don't expect any miracles here.

Do you even notice a difference in speed when you're just using the computer normally?
Stop pouring money into adapter upgrades; get a better router. With a two (300Mbps) or three-stream (450Mbps)...

I just bought a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 PCIe card to replace a USB TL-WN722n. I expected higher speeds for a more expensive product that goes right into a PCIe slot (and has 3 antennas) . . Yet somehow...

I can't explain why the PCIe adapter is slower, but I can say that there's no reason for you to be spending so much for that adapter when you only have a G router. Neither adapter will connect at...

Why would you test your network speed by using speedtest and complain it's less than the max. speed of your wifi adapter? One is internet speed which is limited by your router or ISP contract and one...

What router do you have? If the router's capabilities don't match the adapter, then you will only reach speeds of the slowest device between the two.
Perhaps the PCIe card's antenna's aren't...

Well I went with the antenna on Amazon, and speed seems to have decreased. I really just can't begin to understand why this would be happening. I'm getting about 8mbps as opposed to 20+ with the USB...

To do a real test you should transfer data over the LAN, NOT the WAN. That will narrow down an exact speed gap.
You can get larger antennas but be forewarned, larger is not always better!!! The...

I tested multiple times to be sure, and after everything its just clear that the PCI card is slower. I actually put the USB adapter behind the case in the same place (next to me on top of the desk)...
