Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter

Product Description:
The Wireless-N USB Network 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. 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.

The Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter lets you access the fastest and most advanced wireless solutions currently available. With this unit enabling your PC or laptop, you can run media-intensive applications at amazing speeds, without the hassle or expense of stringing a lot of wires.

The Linksys Wireless-N USB Network Adapter uses the very latest in 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. Whereas ordinary wireless technologies are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually makes use of these reflections to increase the range while reducing dead spots in the coverage area. This means the signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections at up to three times the distance of standard Wireless-G, so the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. This Wireless-N adapter is fully backward compatible, so it works great with standard Wireless-G and -B routers, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N enabled, you can experience increased throughput by using twice as much radio band, which allows speeds up to 15 times that of standard Wireless-G.

To help protect your data and privacy, this wireless adapter can encode all its wireless transmissions with iron-clad, 256-bit Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) encryption. Yet, despite a robust and deep set of features and functionality, configuration is simple and easy with an included web browser-based configuration utility. The incredible speed of Wireless-N networking is 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 at the same time, without worrying about a degradation in performance.

The Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N network adapter is easy to use, and can be plugged in to any open USB port. To experience the full advantages of Wireless-N technology, it is highly recommended that you use USB 2.0. This unit is FCC, CE, and IC-03 certified, receives power through its USB connection so it doesn't require an external power supply, and is backed by a manufacturer's limited three-year warranty.

Rating: - Linksys WUSB300N Wireless adapter
Unit looks Cool but doesn't work very often. Like the other Linksys products, they suffer from crappy software.I can't use this and use $10.00 Encore USB adapters that work all the time and even work with vista x64 Operating System.I can't get Linksys to even work 32 bit.They should have instruction manuals or good web information to help computer nuts that want to network.Maybe professionals know how to use Linksys.It is the wordt cool looking product I have gotten in computers.

Warning if you have Windows Vista 64bit you will need to download the drivers off the internet first. They are listed as Vista 32bit drivers but they work for 64bit also! I was not able to get the drivers on the cd to work for my Windows Vista 64bit.. Once I did get it working it works great! I turn off and on my computer all the time that I built myself and have no problems with startup wich I have read in other reviews. I am able to get very good rage with it and the speed is top notch Definatly ... Read More
Rating: - WOW! It really works: GREAT SPEED + GREAT RANGE
After reading the reviews of this product I was in a 50/50 position about how good or bad this product was. I have a Linksys WRT310 router installed in my home and because I sold my iMac because of the wide known problems all mac computers are having with internet connections, I had to get a network adapter for my new PC. The NATURAL CHOICE was this Linksys network adapter. After some research and reading I found out that this USB version was more faster than the PCI counterpart and as I doubt of the ... Read More

Rating: - I hate this product
I have a desktop with XP on it and a laptop with built-in wireless. Both are my living room and the wireless router is down the hall. The Linksys USB wireless network adapter loses its connection three to five times a day. My laptop never loses a connection, so it obviously isn't the signal strength. To get the USB adapter working again, I have to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it. Also, if I use another USB port on my computer then it kills the wireless connection and I have to unplug it and plug ... Read More
