The RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter is the simple way to add or
upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer.
Just plug it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible
high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility. The
RangePlus Wireless Notebook Adapter uses wireless networking technology
to achieve extended range. 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 much farther than standard Wireless-G.
And with MIMO, 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 use RangePlus technology, the throughput
can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band. 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 WPA2
encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring
the adapter to your network's settings, step by step. Get connected
with fast throughput, reduced dead spots, and increased wireless range
with the RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter from Linksys.
