The 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. To help protect your data and privacy, 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. High-speed Wireless-N is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony.

Very good quality network card

"I purchased this card to network a PC in one of my bedrooms to my broadband connected Linksys N router. I have an 80+ year old house that is made of very dense materials, including steel-mesh lathe plaster walls on the main floor. It's not the ideal building for wireless networking. The Linksys wireless N products have worked much better than anything else I have tried, in a house where extended-range 802.11g h..." Read Full Review »

Disappointing signal pickup

"I have a wireless G router upstairs. My downstairs desktop crashed and I was using a WUSB54G, which plugged into a USB port and worked great. However, new desktops all come with Vista which is not compatible with the old network adapter. I don't need anything extensive so I went with a basic machine that didn't have built-in already. Figuring I'd go the PCI card route to minimize processing and get one that is d..." Read Full Review »

"I purchased a different adapter when I built my computer a little over a year ago.

"Overall, very easy to install and get running with dual band router. Do not really notice much of a drop in performance.



Note that network performance can be enhanced using other bands. Some people install and don't utilize the second band. If that is all you need, don't buy a dual band adapter or …"  Read Full Review »
