Linksys WMP54GS SpeedBooster Wireless PCI Adapter

The Linksys WMP54GS Super G SpeedBooster Wireless-G PCI Adapter installs in most desktops and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running network cables.

The Linksys WMP54GS incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G. In standard Wireless-G (802.11g) mode, the PCI Adapter can connect to wireless networks at an incredible 54Mbps. With our new SpeedBooster technology enabled, your "real-world" wireless network performance increases by up to 35%! Unlike other speed-enhancing technologies, SpeedBooster is 802.11 compliant, fully compatible with standard Wireless-G, and a "good neighbor" to other wireless devices and technologies, using a single 2.4GHz channel as specified by the official wireless standard. And, unlike other technologies, with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices.

Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network.

The Wireless-G PCI Card connects you with Wireless-G networks at an incredible 54Mbps! And for added versatility, it can also interoperate with all the 11Mbps Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. And in either mode, your wireless communications are protected by up to 128-bit encryption and the new industrial-strength WPA (Wi-Fi Protected AccessTM) security, so your data is safe.

So don't hassle with running cables through your house - get your desktop connected the easy way to Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and SpeedBooster wireless networks with the Linksys WMP54GS Super G SpeedBooster Wireless-G PCI Adapter
