USB Network Adapter Product Data
Model WUSB300N
The Wireless-N USB Network Adapter is the simple way to add
wireless connectivity to your notebook or desktop computer.
Just connect it to your PC’s USB port and enjoy incredible high-
speed wireless network access, at unheard-of distances.
The Wireless-N USB Network 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 connected
to Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networks with the
Wireless-N USB Network Adapter from Linksys.
