The Wireless-G USB Adapter with Wi-Fi Finder is a handy, pocket-sized device that combines an easy-to-
use wireless network scanner with a USB-connected Wireless-G network adapter. Now you can scan for
available wireless connectivity before turning on your computer. If the scanner does find a network, just
plug it into your PC and get connected.
The Wi-Fi Finder detects Wireless-G and Wireless-B networks with a simple push of a button. It displays all
pertinent information such as the wireless network's name (SSID), signal strength, the channel used, and
whether wireless security is enabled or not. The information is displayed on an easy-to-read LCD display
and can be set up to look for only open networks, all networks, or a specific named network. Discovered
networks are listed in order of signal strength.
The advanced wireless search technology filters out 2.4GHz interference given off by microwave ovens,
cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices to provide readouts only on working Wireless-G or -B networks.
With the Wi-Fi Finder built into the unit, you no longer need to power on your PC to determine if there's a
wireless network connection available.
Public wireless hotspots are springing up all over in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention
centers. The Wireless-G USB Adapter with Wi-Fi Finder from Linksys makes it easy to find, and connect to,
those hotspots.
