Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54GS with SpeedBooster ... Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your notebook computer. Just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility.

The Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G. In standard Wireless-G (802.11g) mode, the Notebook Adapter can connect to wireless networks at an incredible 54Mbps. With the 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.

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. Your wireless connection is protected by up to 128-bit encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.

You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public Wireless-B (802.11b) 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 your notebook connected to Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and SpeedBooster wireless networks with the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster from Linksys.

 ... until this has been successfully accomplished. It is simply a matter of following a few on screen instructions to install the software and drivers and then you are in business. The unit conforms with all current wireless protocol and transmits at a frequency of 2.4GHz, it gives a maximum speed of 54KBs and although it does claim to have a speed booster this is in all probability going to be obsolete unless you router has similar properties. If your routers top speed is 54Kbs as it most probably is then that's ...more

The Linksys WPC54GS wireless notebook adapter is a small compact little unit, which simply plugs into the vacant slot on your notebook or laptop. This slot is usually activated by a small button, which will open the protective slot cover enabling engagement of the adapter. The unit is about 5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide with a height of about one quarter of an inch at it's highest.
