Linksys WMP300N Overview:
Wireless-N PCI Adapter High-speed Wireless-N networking
for your desktop computer
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 G PCI Adapter.
