Desktop computer systems usually don't feature integrated wireless network connectivity options as portable computer systems do. That is why most home computer systems are connected to the Internet network through a Ethernet connection. While this standard can provide high bandwidth transfer speeds, it is also a little inconvenient, as it requires some cabling. And if you have more than a computer in your home, this aspect might become annoying. In order to avoid the inconvenience, users can resort to a Wireless Adapter.



The best choice is to go for a USB wireless adapter, as it can offer a clean and easy installation, without requiring the user to open the computer case. One such product is offered by the USRobotics company, a household name that specializes in the manufacture and development of networking products for SOHO and small business users. The USRobotics Wireless MAXg USB Adapter is meant to offer a wireless connectivity solution for desktop computer users. The adapter can easily be installed through a available USB port.



The MAXg technology can offer some pretty impressive features, bringing the USRobotics product to a maximum range 50% greater than the standard 802.11g. The wireless maximum speed is set at 125 Mbps, allowing fast transfer rates between the adapter and a compatible wireless router. The device can as easily serve as wireless support for notebook systems which deal with a lower wireless standard. The product is offered with the SureStart installation wizard, which will guide the simple user through the necessary steps in order to achieve a fast network connection.



Wireless devices can be vulnerable to a number of threats, and for this reason they require some important security features. This USRobotics provides Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2/802.11i, a 802.1x Authentication and 64/128-bit WEP encryption, offering you a secure and reliable Internet connection. The USRobotics Wireless MAXg USB Adapter can be acquired online at price tag that settles below $50.
