High-speed Wireless-N networking for your desktop computer
Product Data
Model WMP300N
Wireless-N
PCI Adapter
The Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter installs in most desktop and tower PCs, and
lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building without the cost and
hassle of running network cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls
and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network.
The Wireless-N PCI 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 surf the web, keep in touch with your e-mail, and
share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other
computers on the network. To protect your data and privacy, your wireless
connection is secured by up to 256-bit 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. So don't hassle with running
cables through your house — get your desktop connected the easy way with the
Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter.
