Replace it with the right word, but plz answer my question, it is important to me.
Theoretically you will have faster transfer speeds. Real world use will vary. If you feel like you need it to be faster than buy a faster card.
I did answer you.

Folders opening depends on a few things.
1. Speed of processor
2. Speed of hard drive
3. Amount of files in folder
Folders with gigabytes of data will take longer to open then a folder with just a few files in it.
I did answer you (If you feel like you need it to be faster than buy a faster card)
We are talking for folder opening wirelessly, you remember that, right?
Hard drives are ssd. But opening a folder wirelessly is not the same with opening a folder of the local disk.
Does the wlan speed affect the wireless opening?
As I said, I need to know if worths the cost. How much faster will be card 150/300+card 150/300 against card150+card54[router 300mbps]?
So you're saying that in 5 or 10 years you will never have to replace your existing router? There's a good chance it will die within that time, or you will want even faster speeds.Router will never change
Now, can you tell me what to do? Stay as I am or buy cards? How much faster speed and how much quicklier folder openings?
Are these folders that you're trying to open stored on your computer, or are they network folders mapped to a server? If they are just local folders like your documents, pictures, desktop, downloads, etc., your network speed makes zero difference. Only if they are network folders will you notice any difference upgrading your wireless card.We are talking for folder opening wirelessly, you remember that, right?

The WLAN speed doesn't really affect opening and viewing the contents of folders wirelessly, ......................
There's actually a pretty good chance that opening an SSD on a remote computer will be quicker than opening a folder on a hard disk on a local computer.
We don't know your financial situation, so we can't tell you whether it's worth it or not for you..............
This forum's purpose is to inform and educate so people can make their own informed decisions. This isn't Yahoo Answers where we would just tell you Yes or No. That would be unprofessional.
So you're saying that in 5 or 10 years you will never have to replace your existing router? ..............
Are these folders that you're trying to open stored on your computer,...............
if they are network folders will you notice any difference upgrading your wireless card.
If they are wireless, the time it takes to open a network folder may be slightly faster, but I wouldn't expect much of a difference.
From you I want to tell me what speed shall I have with card 150/300+card 150/300, in order to compare it with my already existed card54+card150.
There are too many variables unique to your (or any, really) environment to give you a hard number.
If budget was no problem then just upgrade your router and NICs with 802.11ac. The fact you're rummaging around with G equipment still indicates the opposite.
Upgrading will be slightly faster. If you want slightly faster, buy the damn card.
Adding one of your PCs as a wired connection will give you over double the transfer rate. This is basically a 'free' option. Unfortunately, you clearly did not give two craps to read any shred of advice given to you or even vaguely consider any alternatives, so you can sort it out yourself.
54Mbps vs 300Mbps will have only the slightest of difference, most likely not even noticeable. The difference comes in opening/transferring.As I said, the folders are in another pc of my local network.
So you disagree with Scott who said "WLAN speed doesn't really affect opening".
Are you 100% sure that wlan speed does not affect folder opening on a remote computer?
I have already ssd in my systems. I can tell you there is delay. A folder which contains 50 video files needs some time to appear them all. If you click to open a sub-folder, then goBack, again delay to appear all files...
So, opening an ssd on a remote computer IS NOT quicker than opening a folder on a hard disk on a local computer.
Apparently you never tried that yourself.
Dont bother about my financial situation, let me worry about that.

We are not talking for after 5-10 years my friend, after 5-10 years the internet probably will have space speeds.

Sounds like you've got something set up wrong with your page file or RAM, but that's outside the context of this thread.
I've FTP'd into my desktop over a LAN and there is no delay whatsoever in opening files on an SSD remotely and miniscule delay with HDD remotely.
Sounds like you're going to have to make your own decision.
This is not an internet discussion thread. Plz stay ontopic.
Anything local will be faster than network-based, the overhead and latency will always be greater with network shares and folders.
If all of your data is accessed over the network, and you are doing this wirelessly, I would upgrade to 802.11ac to get up to 1.3Gbps. 300Mbps is pretty slow.
Have you tried a folder with 50 video files in it, total size 60-90GB?
If pagefile or ram affect then it is inside the condext of this thread. I have 8gb of ram in one pc and 4gb of ram in the other pc. Pagefile is just 512MB in both, they told me that ssd dont like much pagefile...
I have 8gb of ram in one pc and 4gb of ram in the other pc.
That is your problem. There is no way your going to make it open any quicker because of the amount of data in that folder. I don't know why its so hard for you to understand this. If you want faster transfer speeds then get better cards. But better cards isn't gonna make that folder open any quicker. End of discussion....
This thread is titled WiFi cards and transfers, plz stay ontopic.
That is off-topic, please stay on topic.
It sounds like you have preview listed for viewing files, just switch it to detailed view and then you won't have to load video preview data for each file.
I'm thinking the difference would be less than a second, at least in terms of loading a list of contents within folders. Opening folders would vary between seeing a very slight, less than 1 second difference for files like text files, where the file sizes are just a few KB's, however if you're trying to open videos and photos that are much larger, you will see a much greater difference after upgrading.You mean the difference is just a couple of seconds?
So you tell me to keep 54mbps under a 300mbps router and dont buy faster cards.
This slighest difference is in openings too? You know 5 seconds less in a transfer is nothing, but 5 seconds less in a folder opening is important.
The size of the pagefile depends on how much RAM you have, and how much you typically have free when performing day-to-day tasks. 4GB of RAM is not much on Windows 7/8.If pagefile or ram affect then it is inside the condext of this thread.

When you open a folder with media, it has to show a preview, so those will take longer.Have you tried a folder with 50 video files in it, total size 60-90GB?
Is your lan wireless? How many mbps is router & cards?
The whole point I am trying to make, is that in my opinion, it's not worth upgrading from 802.11g to 2.4GHz 802.11n. If you are going to upgrade, you should go with 802.11ac.Which is what?
Boy, I m trying to get a clue because I have to make my order these days. I still dont know if I need faster cards or not.
How is that difficult to understand? Accessing files over the network takes longer than locally.I didnt understand that phrase.
We are both saying roughly the same thing. Accessing a folder filled with videos will take a while to load over the network, regardless of your connection speed, due to the overhead and latency I mentioned earlier with network folders. What I'm saying is that if opening large videos over the network is important to you, you should look at upgrading your router and client to 802.11ac.So you say thay wireless speed does not affect the opening of a large folder.
Lets see if other friends will agree with you. WRXGuy1 seems to disagree.

Since upgrading your router doesn't seem to be something you are willing to consider, then yes, I would say you should upgrade your wireless card to the 300Mbps card, assuming your router does indeed support it. Just understand where I'm coming from, 300Mbps 2.4GHz 802.11n is an old standard, it will still give you significant loading time and lag compared to 1.3Gbps 802.11ac.Less than a second?! You mean no difference at all then.
And something else important I just remembered,
what about the HD videos?
So far, I have delays with the HD videos(1920x1080), the picture sticks from time to time or doesnt rw/ff normally.
Will a faster card(300mbps instead of 54) eliminate this problem?
Yes, but a zero pagefile is one of the advices for faster SSDs.
The size of pagefile affects the wireless speed, as someone said before?
The 4GB of ram is in a pc which works as htpc.
I didnt understand that previous phrase because of my bad english. I understood it now.
Accesing files over the network takes longer yes, point is if a faster card helps.
Then in that case I would disagree with him. I am not saying that upgrading will make the lag of loading that folder go away by any means, but increasing your wireless speed upwards of 6x is going to improve the loading of those video previews, and decrease the time it takes to open. It will still take much longer than if they were local on your PC however, or even if you had them hard wired in at 1Gbps.You dont say the same thing, he said "There is no way your going to make it open any quicker because of the amount of data in that folder........But better cards isn't gonna make that folder open any quicker. End of discussion".
You had said something different.
Getting rid of the page file is good advice if you have enough RAM, check task manager, if you still have a fair amount of free memory you should be fine.
Since upgrading your router doesn't seem to be something you are willing to consider, then yes, I would say you should upgrade your wireless card to the 300Mbps card, assuming your router does indeed support it
HD video steaming over 54Mbps is bound to cause lag and stuttering, if you upgrade it will help or eliminate that.
8GB is fine, I was talking about your 4GB system.8GB DDR3 1600MHz isnt enough ram?
I keed 512MB. I always watch the amount of my ram via a win7 gadget(desktop accesories).
Ok, you were absolutely clear.
What do you suggest me to get? pci or pci express? Is TP-LINK a good firm?
And whats that with 2 or 3 antennas?
I heard good reviews for these cards, what do you think?
