Wireless-G Notebook Business Adapter
provides extended range and secure
access for your business
The Linksys Wireless-G Business Notebook Adapter with RangeBooster installs in
most Notebook PCs, and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building
without the cost and hassle of running network cables.
RangeBooster technology is a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G which
increases your wireless network’s range up to two times, and its throughput by up
to 35%. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections,
RangeBooster uses two smart receivers at each end to detect and decode reflected
signals at distances where standard technologies give up. You’ll find that “dead spots” in
the wireless coverage area are reduced, too.
The Advanced security features make this solution ideal for your Business. Advanced
wireless security using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2 Enterprise) with up to 256-bit
encryption and the new Wireless Security Monitoring functionality gives your business
the visibility and protection it needs. Used when a Linksys WAP200 is present, the Wireless
Security Monitoring functionality alerts you of possible wireless intruders and vulnerabilities
in the wireless network deployment.
