Linksys WMP 600 N Wireless-N Dual Band Adapter (Dual-Band; Wireless-N; PCI)

Frequency band is selectable to prevent wireless overload.

Make your desktop PC wireless with the Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N PCI-Adapter with Dual-Band. Insert into available slot and you have access to the fantastic High Speed wireless network right away without laying annoying cables.

The Wireless PCI-Adapter comes with Wireless-N (Draft 802.11n), latest wireless network technology. The used MIMO technology (multiple inputs / multiple outputs) overlaps the signals of various radios per frequency band and multiplies the effected data rate. In contrast to the usual wireless network technologies in which the signal reflections can be disturbing, MIMO technology uses these reflections to extend the range and reduce dead spots in the wireless reception area. The stabile signal has a wider range, so that in wireless connections, much longer distances can be maintained than with standard Wireless G systems.

With Wireless-N increasing distance the speed advantage becomes greater. This works hassle-free with Wireless-G , Wireless-A and Wireless-B devices. If both ends of the wireless connection feature Wireless N technology, the transfer rate can be increased noticeably above Wireless G, as twice as much bandwidth is used.

With 2.4 GHz and 5GHz frequency band transmission in Dual Band Wireless networks happens simultaneously The available bandwidth is thereby effectively doubled. You can set up your network for example so that one frequency band is for video streaming while the other frequency is used for data transfer. This way, disturbances or coalitions during video playback can be prevented. The Wireless-N PCI adapter with Dual-Band enables the use of the frequency band suited best.

To protect your data, the wireless connection is coded with the standard WPA2 encryption. The set-up assistance leads you through the configuration of the adapter step by step to set up your network.

Highspeed-Wireless-N is perfectly suited for media-intense applications like video streaming , games and VoIP calling. It offers sufficient bandwidth to execute many media intense data transmissions at once, yet the performance stays constant. Connect your computer via Wireless-N, Wireless-G, Wireless-A and Wireless B networks with the Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N PCI-Adapter with Dual- Band by Linksys.

The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band adds wireless connectivity to your desktop computer. Install it into an available slot in your computer, and enjoy great high-speed wireless network access without running wires. The Wireless-N PCI Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, Wireless-N’s “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology is designed to multiply 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 much 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, -A, and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the throughput can be increased far beyond standard Wireless-G by using twice as much radio band. Dual-band wireless networks are designed to operate in both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz radio bands at the same time, effectively doubling the available wireless bandwidth. For instance, you could set up your network to handle video streaming on one radio band, and use the other band for simultaneous data transfers -- avoiding any interference or collisions that would degrade the video performance. The Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band allows you to connect using whichever band works the best for your situation.
