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:

We have one of these and, to put it mildly, it is a piece of crap. The signal is often weak even if we're only 3 feet from the wireless router. It's so annoying that we've resorted to just using a wired connection most of the time.
Brand New In A Box - Works - Got here on time - No Issue - Works with Linux. The only reason I got it but realize that I think it's faster on my laptop to download since I have 2 wireless going on at once.
The only problem was when using the Wireless Network Monitor the card would connect to the site but would not connect to the internet. I originally ordered a WPC54G card from AONSale through Amazon. I uninstalled the card, unplugged it from the computer then plugged it back in and used Windows to install the card, that way the Wireless Network Monitor is not installed on the computer. They sent me a WPC55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G card. The card works fine, but if you use the installation disk that comes with it, it installs a Wireless Network Monitor with icon that you can use to connect to a wireless site. I use Linksys EasyLink Advisor that was installed on the computer when I installed my WRT54G2 router to connect to wireless sites. Bottom line, its a good wireless card so far with good download speeds.
Received adapter within 3 days of ordering. Setup was painless but I changed to Microsoft Network Connection instead of Linksys. Works great, no complaints.
This transaction was very satisfactory. I think this was the cheapest I could get this adapter anywhere, and I had searched a few places, in stores and online.
