View larger./b/i small/td/tr/table 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.p 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.p 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.p 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. Get your notebook connected to Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networks with the Wireless-N Notebook Adapter from Linksys. p table align=left width=500 cellpadding=10 tr td img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/n-chart.fixed.jpg" border=1 align=top/td/tr /tablep

 very fast January 6, 2009
I returned the wireless-g pcmci card to best buy and purchased this one. Far much better and faster then other products that I tested. I recommend it for the performance and price.
 More Hype than function! January 6, 2009
I really wanted the distance but, it was all hype. My Cisco B card had better distance. Without the distance, I didn't care about the speed; what's the point of speed without a connection?br /br /The blue, bulky plastic end, sticking out of your machine is a magnet for disaster!br /br /While everything installs well, you really just want the driver only and let windows handle network connections. I wish they would stop packaging their own interface (Microsoft's does a fine job) and spend their RD dollars on delivering what they advertise.br /br /Their customer support is EXTREMELY BAD. However I bought this ( WPC300N) from Amazon several years ago when very little was known.
Fast but range is questionable December 21, 2008
This wireless-N adapter is very easy to install. It is as plug and play as you get. It connects well with my Linksys N router. It also connects easily at public hot spots. The speed seems to be the same as my other N adapters when close to the router. When I use it at the other end of my house, it gets only 3 bars when my Dell internal adapter gets all 5. My Dell internal uses 3 antennas built in around the monitor so to compare may be unfair. All in all a decent adapter for plug and play. I would buy it again as an add on.
 Not a Pretty Upgrade October 25, 2008
Wanted just to upgrade my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad) from G to an N card. Chose Linksys, since I had heard it was user-friendly. What a nightmare. I wound up spending hours on the phone with tech support, in the Phillipines, of all places. This product is just not made to install easily. I needed much support to get the thing working. I still am not sure it is working, or was worth the upgrade....
