Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost
five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found
in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country — but
since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also work
with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.
The new Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys has both standards built in, so
you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b infrastructure, and also the
new screaming fast Wireless-G networks. The included Setup Wizard will walk you
through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step. Then
just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy network access with
your notebook computer, while retaining true mobility.
Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the
Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network
storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you
can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out
on the patio. Your wireless connection is protected by the new,
industrial-strength security of Wireless Protected Access (WPA).
You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public wireless
hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention
centers. And as those hotspots upgrade to the new high-speed Wireless-G
standard, you'll be ready to take advantage of the increased speeds.
Get connected to current-standard 802.11b networks today, and be prepared for
the future with the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys.
