Product description

Linksys Wireless-N Laptop Adapter

Features

Upgrade your wireless: The Wireless-N Notebook Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your notebook. Just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility.

Wireless-N technology: Unlike ordinary technologies that are confused by signal reflections, Wireless-N (or draft 802.11n) actually uses these reflections to increase range and reduce dead spots. This Wireless-N technology is called MIMO (for Multiple In, Multiple Out). Robust MIMO signals travel farther, maintaining connection at four times the range of standard Wireless-G. The farther away you are, the more advantage you get—up to 12 times the speed of standard Wireless-G.

Networking convenience: Access your network anywhere at home or at public wireless hotspots in airports, hotels, convention centers, etc. Share files, online games, printers and other devices with swift transfer speeds. Plus, get online fast when you connect your wireless network to a high-speed Internet connection. You’ll have no trouble connecting—Wireless-N is perfectly compatible with Wireless-G and -B.

Do more, faster: The speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony. You’ll have plenty of headroom to run multiple large data streams through the network at the same time—with no degradation in performance.

Tough security: Don't worry about network security—this router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks and supports VPN pass-through.

Simple setup: The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.

Note: You will need a wired Ethernet adapter or wireless card for each PC on your network, plus a modem and Internet connection.

System requirements:

Windows® 2000 or XP with SP1 or later

600MHz processor or faster

256MB of RAM

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!
Reviewer: Kouzzzzz from New Jersey on Mar 3, 2007
78 out of 135 found this review helpful

The setup was very easy, but had many problems with it. The search for wireless networks were intermittent. When it did recognize my wireless network, it would not connect. I had no security features on it. I must of removed and installed the drivers about 10 times. Called Linksys tech support, they rushed me off the phone. They told me to try the card in another notebook. Not very helpful!!!! Updated the drivers the next day on my own. It seemed to work but not getting the speed as advertised. I then bought the D-Link Rangebooster N Notebook Adapter (DWA-642). This product is amazing (saved $20). No matter where I am in my house, I am always connected at 300mbps. Great features and easy setup.

I use this adapter on a year 2002 laptop running Windows 2000. I have also used it on a year 1999 laptop running Windows XP. For home it picks up my network perfectly. A recent business trip also proved it worked on other networks very well. I was fortunate to locate this product in the Circuit City Outlet Store, saving about 30% off list. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
