So, you've decided to free yourself from the umbilical cable of your local network and go wireless. You've got your laptop computer. Check. You've got your Linksys Wireless-N router. Check. Now you need your Wireless-N notebook adapter card card.
Wireless-N is faster than the 802.11G standard, and tends towards longer range (up to one hundred fifty feet). But if you don't have a Wireless-N router, you don't have to go Wireless-N all at once if you don't want to; this card is also compatible with the 802.11b/g standards. You will get better range and speeds with a compatible Wireless-N router, however.
Faster speeds, longer ranges, fewer dead-spots; what's not to like? So check it out and decide for yourself, but we think you might just like what you see. And we'll be here, cheerfully waiting to sell it to you.
