Product Details

The Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter installs in most desktop and tower PCs, and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. The Wireless-N PCI 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. Once you're connected, you can surf the web, keep in touch with your e-mail, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network. To protect your data and privacy, your wireless connection is secured by up to 256-bit WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.

(1 stars) - 4 USED on amazon?
Every time we find number of used item consist of same model we better watch out that product doesn't worth your shipping cost and time.
I purchased one of open box/refurbeshed/used PCI wireless card here on amazon, I never found it working properly, it disconnects me every 5-10 minutes while my USB wireless adapter on different PC never had any issue, I contacted amazon to return this product right away..amazon refered me to the seller and sellers sent me some web link to visit and fill out the form, the link does not work and I replay back to the sellers, there was no response, today I try to fill out that form by visiting their website, this time it worked but told me that it is been over 30 days so I can not return the item!!!!!
Fine I don't mind to lose some thing under $30.00 but I will make sure nobody else will get the same used item and lose the same amount of money and time.

Thank you Amazon...and thank you the dishonest seller!!!!!!!

(1 stars) - Very unreliable
This may be an XP problem, but I reboot weekly and have to re-associate with the access point at least once a month. I am preparing to toss this in the trash and buy something better (just about anything at this point).

(1 stars) - Do not buy this product
I bought two of these for two different computers. One is a straight windows XP OS and the other one is XP media edition. In a nutshell, the adapters fail several times a week and you must go through the whole install process again to get them up. Repeated calls to Linksys have been no help. I will never, never buy another adapter from them. 20 years of computing and these adapters have been the worse products I have ever bought for any of my computers. Please note, we are talking not just one adapter and computer but two. I gave up on one machine and just ran CAT 5 but the other is yet to be resolved. Oh and stupid me has been putting up with this for over a year now. So, sorry but I cannot recommend for anyone to buy these adapters.

(5 stars) - Media Center Must!
This device is precisely what I needed to get my media center PC connected to myhome wireless LAN. The external antenna provides great reception in the entertainment center that other internal radios, such as the wireless hardware within my laptop, had trouble with. I have been downloading quite a bit of iTunes movies to my 42" flat screen. I love the setup and I love this wirless device. 5 Stars!
