MacBook Pro, iMac and MacBooks Get 802.11n Wireless from QuickerTek

Apple's latest 802.11n wireless network gear left out many Intel-based Mac users. Fortunately, QuickerTek is now selling 802.11n wireless upgrade cards and an upgrade service for Apple, Intel MacBook, Intel MacBook Pro models and Intel iMacs. Users can choose to buy the card and install it themselves for $149, or send their computer to QuickerTek to have the card installed for $199.

QuickerTek's wireless networking cards are made to the same specifications as the Apple factory cards and install into the AirPort card slot. They work with all 802.11/b/g/n Wi-Fi equipment including Apple AirPort, AirPort Extreme and the latest 802.11n version of AirPort Extreme introduced at Macworld Expo according to QuickerTek. The wireless upgrade uses standard parts, no drivers or other changes need to be made, nor are additional steps required to use the higher speed 'N' upgrade.

The user-installed upgrade option includes the 802.11n upgrade card, tools and illustrated installation manual - everything needed to complete the upgrade at home. The installation upgrade service is available using any shipping option the customer chooses with shipping and handling charges added to the $199 product cost.

Compatibility:

Intel, flat-panel iMacs
Intel MacBooks
Intel MacBook Pros

Like most QuickerTek products, the 802.11n wireless upgrade card itself is backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. [Bill Fox]
