EZ CONNECT™ N
DRAFT 11N WIRELESS
USB 2.0 ADAPTER
The EZ Connect™ N Draft 11n Wireless USB2.0 Adapter (SMCWUSBS-N2) is another cutting edge introduction in 2.4GHz wireless communication for desktop and notebook computers. Designed for both the home and office, this wireless USB2.0 adapter provides the speed, coverage and security expected by today’s wireless users. The SMCWUSBS-N2 is 802.11n draft v2.0 compliant while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the Wireless-G (802.11g) and Wireless-B (802.11b) standards. This next generation standard utilizes advanced MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology to deliver incredible speed and range. The SMCWUSBS-N2 provides better performance than existing 802.11g technology. Upgrading to Wireless N provides an excellent solution for sharing an Internet connection and files such as video, music, photos, and documents. With security being a key consideration, SMCWUSBS-N2 supports the latest WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption standards, which prevent unauthorized access to wireless networks and ensure data is secure. Wireless security can also be set up easily using Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) that enables push button or PIN configuration. The SMCWUSBS-N2 includes an easy installation wizard which guides you step-by-step through the process. Once installed the WLAN utility allows you to scan for available wireless networks and manage multiple network profiles so connecting becomes instantaneous.
