With our new SpeedBooster technology enabled, your "real-world" wireless network perfor- mance increases by up to 35%! Unlike other speed-enhanc- ing 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 with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improve- ment even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices. To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB con- nection, so no power cord is necessary. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wire- less network settings, step by step. The Adapter is also compat- ible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard, with data rates up to 11Mbps. And your wireless communications can be protected by 128-bit encryption, so your data stays secure. USB Network Adapter Wireless-G with SpeedBooster
