Gemtek WPIR-129GN PCI adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 4 times farther than standard Wireless-G.

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. You'll be able to connect with any of the growing number of public hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers. At home, you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. Your wireless connection can be protected by 64/128-bit WEP and powerful WPA/WPA2 wireless security. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.
