ENPWI-NX2
802.11n Wireless PC Card Adapter
The ENCORE ENPWI-NX2, 802.11n Wireless PC Card adapter is fully compliant
with IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0, which provides users in launching IEEE 802.11n
wireless networks at up to 300 Mbps speed in the 2.4GHz band. It is also
backward-compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices at 11/54 Mbps
speed. It can be configured to connect to an ad-hoc network mode, connecting to
other 2.4GHz wireless devices and computers, or to the Infrastructure network
mode to connect to a wireless AP or wireless router for internet access. This
Card Bus adapter includes a convenient Utility Software for scanning available
wireless networks and an option in saving profiles of the preferred networks of
the user’s usual wireless connection. It is also equipped with a configurable
wireless security and encryption software.
