Items In Wireless Networking You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Linksys Wireless-N WPC300N Notebook AdapterDescription The Wireless-N WPC300N Notebook Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in notebook computer. Just slide it into notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility. The Wireless-N WPC300N Notebook Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft IEEE 802.11n).

Nice draft-N card.Strengths: Very easy to install. Excellent connectivity. Weakness: The included management software didn't work as well as plain Windows XP wireless management. bought this card to use with my ThinkPad because the included on-board Intel adapter was very flaky, constantly dropping the connection, as well as having other problems. I have a Linksys draft-N wireless router and other machines had no problems staying connected, so I knew it was the chip. Installing the card and driver was very simple. I've had excellent connectivity since starting to use it....

Works great!Strengths: Fast, strong wireless N technology. Nice Design. Works great. Weakness: A tiny bit bigger than the wireless G WPC54G. Setup was amazingly simple. All you have to do is install the software then plug this thing in. After that, setting this up was a breeze. The software scans for local networks, you input your settings, and then you connect. Couldn't be any simpler. Because it's wireless N it also features strong 256-bit encryption up to WPA2. It works just fine with other Linksys products. Currently I am using it...

The Funky Color Speed DemonStrengths: SPEED SPEED SPEED! It's fast! It installed easily! It works properly! Weakness: It's a bit bigger than its predecessor. Did I mention it's FAST? We connect to the matching Linksys Draft N router at 130 Mbps, which is faster than the 100 Mbps Net in our building. This adapter installed first time using the provided wizard. It locks on to the wireless net like it's supposed to. I haven't had to use Linksys Customer service, which is good, since we now live in Beijing. All in all a winner.

N-CardStrengths: Transfer rate is much better than other bands available. Weakness: None so far I switched from my G-router to an N-router for the speed increase, which is significant over G-band products. It makes surfer the web and downloading large files much easier and saves a ton of time. I like to transfer Tivo video files onto my laptop to view at work and the G-band products take far too long to send them. I used to leave the laptop running overnight to do this and now I don't have...

Linksys Wireless-N WPC300N Notebook AdapterStrengths: Easy installation and Setup, speed Weakness: None so far My wireless b router just went out, so I had to decide whether to dole out the cash for a pre-spec N model, or just get a g model. The lack of range of the g routers made me go ahead with this one and I have no regrets, although I haven't had a chance to check out the new range yet. Setup was easy, and I used it with the b air card for a week before getting the n card. Needless to say, the n card...

Strengths: High connectivity speeds
Weakness: None.
This is this fastest wireless card I've owned. It makes a hard wired network look slow. Very pleased with the software and connection abilities while traveling. Works well with major hotel accesses.
