Build Your Own Super Fast Wireless Card for your PC

I was looking at some compatible Hackintosh wireless cards that work out of the box as I am going to build my own. There are many more but I rather not mess around with utilities and editing kexts

After some digging the 3 best ones are in order of performance are:

1) RNWD-N9003
1) TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

2.5Ghz / 5Ghz 450mb/s

These are tied as they use the same AR9380 chipset, but you will find the Rockwill ones cheaper online.

2) D-Link DWA-556

Now why not try and get a Mini PCI-e to PCI-e adapter and a laptop card (e.g: Atheros AR5BXB112) and build your own for half the price? These cost as low as $6.00 and $20.00 respectively, I also found some much cheaper ones on eBay.

Good places to look are Newegg, eBay and Amazon.
