TP-Link TL-WN861N Wireless N Mini PCI Adapter 300Mbps 2T2R

The TP-Link TL-WN861N is a Wireless N Mini PCI Adapter engineered for internal installation in systems equipped with a Mini PCI slot. Built around 2x2 MIMO technology and compliant with IEEE 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b standards, it delivers wireless throughput up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) technology actively manages channel selection to minimize interference and maintain connection stability, making the adapter a reliable upgrade for systems that demand consistent wireless performance in demanding environments such as voice and video applications. QSS (Quick Secure Setup) simplifies the process of establishing encrypted wireless connections, while broad encryption support—including WEP, WPA, and WPA2 variants—provides flexibility across a range of network security configurations.
