Additional Linksys WPC55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter Information
|
The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter lets your notebook communicate with all three wireless network standards. With one PC Card, you can connect to Wireless-A (802.11a), Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) and Wireless-B (802.11b) networks.Wireless-B networks have a data rate of 11Mbps, and are commonly found in corporate environments and in homes for household Internet connectivity without the need for running cables. They're also popping up all over the country in coffee shops, airports, hotels, convention centers, and other public spaces offering "on the go" connectivity to mobile users.In high-speed or heavy usage environments, Wireless-B is quickly being replaced by a new standard, Wireless-G, which using the same 2.4GHz radio band, but at 54Mbps, is almost five times faster. The third wireless network standard is Wireless-A, which also runs at 54Mbps, but operates in the less-crowded 5GHz radio band. Wireless-A is mostly used in corporate installations.Whichever standard you encounter, the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter is ready to connect. And it's simple to use. Just pop it into a PC Card slot and run the included Setup Wizard, which will walk you through the configuration. All wireless communications can be protected by up to 152-bit encryption, so your data stays secure.Join the wireless revolution. With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter, you'll be ready to connect to all three types of wireless networks, wherever you go, now and in the future.

What Customers Say About Linksys WPC55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter:
|
|
Works great, no complaints. Received adapter within 3 days of ordering. Setup was painless but I changed to Microsoft Network Connection instead of Linksys.
I think this was the cheapest I could get this adapter anywhere, and I had searched a few places, in stores and online. This transaction was very satisfactory.
The connection is fast. But if I disable autodetection, it works in just a few seconds. I am very satisfied with this wireless network card. The only drawback is when leaving the "Autodetect" of both network speeds on (for the A and the G networks speeds), it takes about 30 seconds to figure out the speed. I guess you just have to remember to switch the network protocol/speed when getting to a different wireless network, but still this feature is very nice to have in the case of occassional visits to customer sites and coffee shops. It is much easier to configure than my last network card. It is able to detect the networks right away.
But this card will do the trick. Earlier versions of FreeBSD might work, too. I am so glad I found this card. Look no further. FreeBSD 6.1 and later will recognize this card.
This item is for the connection to a University wireless system, and this particuler unit was required.
