"Attention : Atheros 11ac radio can't be used in PC or laptop, as atheros do not release such driver." "WLE900V5-23 MUST use external 5V power, WPJ344 can provide external 5V. What I mean WLE900V5-23 must use 5V by using 5V cable from WPJ344" http://compexshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/57_103/products_id/445 http://www.compex.com.sg:809/productdetailinfo.asp?model=WPJ344&acc1Panel=2 http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/compex/wpj344 However WLE600V5-23 probably needs only Mini PCI Express / PCI Express Adapter for PC. Of course, it's up to you to check it - ask retailer and devs. http://compexshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/57_103/products_id/447 Everything related to this thread you do so at your own risk and expense.
