The latest Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter, dubbed WMP300N, represents one of the fastest PCI wireless interfaces at the moment. The card installs in most desktop and tower PCs, and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building without needing to use wired cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic to connect to your local hotspot.



The Wireless-N PCI Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. MIMO transceivers allow for a better signal output and can be used effectively even with reflecting signals as they are able to provide a wider coverage and a much faster transfer.



With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds up to 12 times as fast as standard Wireless-G.



Once you're connected, you can surf the web, keep in touch with your e-mail, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network. To protect your data and privacy, your wireless connection can use 256-bit encryption. And with the help of a very fast connection you can use this device for every type of audio and video streaming ranging from VoIP applications to HD video streaming. If you want one, you can get it for about $100.
