Product Description

Product Description
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 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 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. 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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linksys wireless g card, June 9, 2007

By	W. A. Lardin "uwillie" (GA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This item is one in a long line of wireless cards from Linksys. It comes with good documentation and software, is easy to install and works right away. I bought it to be able to use WPA-PSK and it can handle that up to 63 characters. I am using it with an IBM T-23 laptop, and it works just like advertised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, March 30, 2008

By	D. Golub (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product works great, I've had it for a couple of months, and it has worked as described. No problems. I have Windows XP, and an older lap top (2002?). Works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well With My Linksys Wireless Router, December 4, 2007

By	D. Childs (Tecumseh, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It took awhile, but I was successful getting this wireless adapter to work in my old Windows 98SE IBM ThinkPad. The software is nicely compatable with my Linksys wireless router so I was able to use WAP encription instead of WEP (which is so easy to hack these days). The very small antenna on this PCMCIA card is sufficient to pick up a good signal anywhere in our 2 story home. (My wireless router is in the basement.)
