N-6235 vs N-6230

[idata]

I was going to replace my n-1030 with N-6235. Amazon/Newegg only have the N-6230. I assume that 6235 is the newer model. Is there any major improvement worth paying extra for the 6235. 6235 is available on some unknown retailers. I don't want to register and get more junk mail, if I can avoid it.

Also, there could be regulatory requirements that you need to meet for your country, since the end user is not authorized to install these wireless adapters. They can only be installed by the manufacturer or its authorized representative. Installing an aftermarket wireless adapter in your laptop can cause several issues which may affect usage of the wireless adapter or laptop. Some of these issues may include the following: - The OEM may have installed the wireless adapter with a lock to prevent installation of another adapter.- Your adapter may not be electrically compatible with your laptop that may cause the adapter and/or your laptop to no longer function.- Wireless hardware installation and use is subject to regulatory approval, and the adapter purchased may not support your local regulations.
