Wireless-N Notebook Adapter
High-speed Wireless-N (draft
802.11n) networking for your
notebook computer.
MIMO technology uses multiple
radios to create a robust signal
that travels up to 4 times farther
and reduces dead spots.
Up to 12 times faster than
Wireless-G, but can also
connect to Wireless-G and -B
networks.
Advanced wireless security:
Wi-Fi Protected Access™
(WPA2) with up to 256-bit
encryption.
The Wireless-N Notebook Adapter is the simple way to add or
upgrade wireless connectivity in your notebook computer. Just slide
it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy incredible high-speed
wireless network access while retaining true mobility.
The Wireless-N Notebook Adapter uses the very latest wireless
networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the
signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's “Multiple In, Multiple Out”
(MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary
wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal
reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the
range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The
robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to
4 times farther than standard Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed
advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B
equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N,
the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much
radio band, yielding speeds up to 12 times as fast as standard
Wireless-G.
Once you’re connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail,
access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as
printers and network storage with other computers on the network,
wherever you wander. At home, you can surf the web or use instant
messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. You'll
also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public
hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and
convention centers. Your wireless connection is protected by
industrial-strength WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will
walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings,
step by step.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric
applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP
telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple
media-intense data streams through the network at the same time,
with no degradation in performance. Get your notebook connected to
Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networks with the
Wireless-N Notebook Adapter from Linksys.
