LinkSys Wireless Adapters

LinkSys offers a variety of wireless adapters, ranging from wireless-N, wireless-G and wireless-B networks and PCI, USB and notebook types.

One of the unique features of LinkSys' wireless adapters is its SpeedBooster technology, packaged in its wireless-G devices. Taking it from the word itself, LinkSys' SpeedBooster is well, a speed booster, increasing computers' performance by up to 30-35% of its normal 54Mbps. This feature uses a single 2.4 GHz channel, complies to the 802.11g standard, and works well with the standard wireless G. It is one great support to regular wireless-G devices.

Aside from SpeedBooster, another unique feature of LinkSys wireless adapters is its RangeBooster technology. RangeBooster increases the area coverage of a wireless network from 35% to 200%. This add on feature is not present in wireless technologies of other brands. While regular wireless-G adapters tend to fail with strong signal reflections, RangeBooster-integrated adapters are capable of detecting and decoding these reflected signals by using two meticulously engineered receivers. They definitely spot and remove any dead spot in the wireless network.

Ultimately, LinkSys highlights its"Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology which maximizes if not doubles the wireless data transmissions. MIMO is the mother technology of SpeedBooster and RangeBooster, a device that accepts signal reflections and channel them into a larger wireless coverage area. Through MIMO, the stronger the reflection signals are, the farther the wireless connection is, which is 3 to 8 times farther than standard wireless-G adapters.
