The Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter WUSB600N is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer. Just plug it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access. The Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter WUSB600N 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 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 much farther than standard Wireless-G. And 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 even more by using twice as much radio band. Dual-band wireless networks 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 Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter 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 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings- step by step. 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 computer connected to either band of Wireless-N- as well as Wireless-G- Wireless-A- and Wireless-B networks with the Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter WUSB600N from Linksys.

I highly recommend this product.

"At the present moment I'm using a second home computer almost 24 hours daily to download sports video;about 80Gigs worth every day. I needed a wireless adapter that was fast,secure, and reliable....and,just as important,could use both 2.5 and 5GHz Radio Bands. My home modem (FIOS) uses the 2.5 GHz band which resulted in numerous connectivity conflicts between my laptop and my wireless home phone due to both de..." Read Full Review »

Good except for signal reception

"The setup is quick and easy and in use it works as expected with one major exception. It does not receive a good signal. I get better signal strength and distance with my built-in "G" antenna. However, if you are close enough to the router to get a signal, you do get better speed. I routinely get 216 Mbps as opposed to 54 with "G". However, I got 270 when using an Express Card on my old laptop. (This laptop ha..." Read Full Review »
