Linksys WPC300N PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter
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
256-bit encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring
the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.
