This highly portable adapter lets you connect to Wireless-N networks for long range and high speeds. View larger. | Less Interference, Increased Range and Superior Performance
When you use the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter to connect to a Wireless-N network, you can take advantage of the new technology's outstanding range and performance. Utilizing the latest dual band Wireless-N technology, when used with Wireless-N networks, can deliver more than 10 times the range and offer a throughput speed of up to 15 times greater than existing Wireless-G networks. Another notable advantage of dual band Wireless-N is that it works with up to 23 channels that operate on the 5GHz band. Wireless-G networks, on the other hand, operate on the 2.4-GHz band with only 3 channels, which is also home to some cordless phones, microwaves, and other devices that can cause interference. 5GHz Wireless-N avoids the interference that can interrupt Wireless-G networks, giving you greater reliability and performance. The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter turns your computer into a new dual band Wireless-N device, letting you connect securely to all new Wireless-N gateways, routers and access points. While the adapter is backwards compatible with any Wireless-G network or hot spot, its performance is optimized for use with the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router (WNDR3300), HD/Gaming 5 GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit (WNHDE111/WNHDEB111), RangeMax Next Wireless-N Routers (WNR834B, WNR854T Gigabit version). USB Connectivity for Immediate Performance
Offering better speed and range than other USB Wireless-N adapters, the RangeMax Wireless-N Dual Band Adapter--when used to connect to a Wireless-N network--lets you wirelessly surf, email, stream HD video, on-line game, make Internet phone calls--at the same time! Depending on your Internet connection, the adapter can provide you with enough bandwidth to support quick music downloads, file sharing and HD multimedia applications. This convenient and highly portable adapter, which weighs less than an ounce and is about the size of a lighter, is designed for your Windows XP or Vista notebook or desktop PC and simply plugs into any USB port.

 Version 2 June 14, 2010

Be sure you get v2.0. It has a small button. It does not show on the Amazon photo. If you get the correct adapter with current software, it works perfectly, especially with a newer Netgear router.
Works with Panasonic Viera TVs! June 8, 2010

Hey Panasonic Viera Owners - This thing works with both the TV and Blue Ray players. Just plug it in the USB port and it configures itself. Why? Obviously the Panasonic wireless adaptors are based on this product. Panasonic must have a condition/clause for Netgear not to advertise this because they do absolutely do not. I found this on a KB article via Google. It's $30 less than the Panasonic version and may be a better device if you have a Netgear dual band router. Anyway, I guess the old version had many bugs, but this is version 2 and works perfectly!

I just bought this with the WNDR 3700 router from Netgear and it is as though they are made for each other. No dropped connections, exceptional speed. I sit on the 2nd floor and my router is on the first floor about 100 ft away in a straight line and I can still use the full N speeds. Again this is the new adapter - the one with the light on the top. Make sure you are buying this one, the earlier one has a lot of negative reviews.
On ease of installation (Windows XP), I just plugged in the CD, followed the steps and it worked on the first try. IMPORTANT - The product ships with a male-female USB cable. If you dont want to connect the adapter to your laptop directly and move around a lot, i.e. if you are worried about bumping the adapter and breaking something, use the cable. I started using it and find it invaluable.
Buy this adapter only if you are purchasing the WNDR3700 or equivalent / better from Netgear or others. If you are not getting a dual band router, you can spend less by purchasing a single band adapter.

Easy installation, easy use, reliable....what more could you ask for? It even has an extension cable so you can plug it into the back of your desktop so it's out of the way but accessible if you ever want it to be....now THAT is perfect!
 Buy a WN111v2 instead. February 11, 2010

I installed this on 4 different PCs and on 3 different operating systems (Vista 64, Win XP, and Win 7). All 3 had similar results. Dropped signals and a LOT of them. It's range sucks vs the WN111v2. Do yourself a favor and get the WN111v2 instead (it's great).
