Wireless networking at better than wired speeds!

Wireless-G
PCI Adapter with SRX400
The Linksys Wireless G PCI Adapter with SRX400 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-G PCI Adapter with SRX400 combines smart antenna
technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking.
By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the
“Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the
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 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G.
With SRX, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you
get, and SRX400 works great with standard Wireless-G and -B
equipment, and other flavors of Linksys SRX. But when both ends of
the wireless link are SRX400, the network can increase the
throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding
speeds up to 10 times as fast as standard Wireless-G — faster than
10/100 wired network speeds! But unlike other speed-enhanced
technologies, SRX400 can dynamically enable this double-speed
mode for SRX400 devices, while still connecting to non-SRX400
wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. And SRX400 is a
“good neighbor”, always checking for other wireless devices in the
area before gobbling up the radio band.
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 protected by up to
128-bit encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through
configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.
So don’t hassle with running cables through your house — get your
desktop connected the easy way — faster than wired — with the
Linksys Wireless G PCI Adapter with SRX400.
