What is the speed of wireless adaptor? ie: G or N

It definitely supports G, as I am using it with. Works OK with YouTube. 802.11n is supported, but there is a caveat in the manual (p.19): "In compliance with the newest Wi-Fi certification specifications, this product does not support WEP, TKIP, or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) security encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode."

I have a N router and it streams movies from netflix and movies from the HTPC. However, if the unit is a substantial distance from the router, you may need a wireless repeater.

Yeah, that's kinda what I deduced it to. I ended up buying the 655 last week and it works beautifully. I tested my internet connection speed wired and then wireless on a different floor of my house and the wireless was just as fast! Waaaay better than my old D-link G model.

Well, I couldn't get it to work with 802.11g. So working for 802.11n is not likely. I returned mine for a refund. I was using Windows Xp, SP3 and an ALFA AWUS036H wifi adapter (a highly rated adapter that works great). I did get a 32 ft. to work [BlueRigger USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension / Repeater Cable 10 Meters (32 Feet)] purchased from amazon. Hope this helps.

It will work, but it will also drag down the connection speed of attached devices since they will only be able to operate at 'G' speeds. You'll want to find one of the newer modules that support 802.11n if you don't want to affect other devices on the same wifi network (media streamers, Apple TVs, netflix, etc).

It should work without any problems. To get the 150 mega bits per second (Mbps) speed you must have a wireless router that will work with with "N" Speed. If you have a wireless router make sure that it will handle the "N" speed. If you have a wireless router that is a "B" or "G" it will work with those speeds which will be lower than the 150 Mbps. Most wireless routers today are all three B, G, and N. Check to see if your router will handle the 'N" speed, install the drivers on the CD if Win XP does not install the drivers automatically. Be sure you get the info you need to set up the USB adapter on your network wireless router. It should work without any problems.

N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11). Home WiFi routers have progress from A to B, G, and now N corresponding to speeds of approximately 1.5Mb, 11Mb, 52Mb, and 300Mb. Note that you will only get the 300Mbps speed if your computer (or other wireless device) also has a wireless-N adapter. If it is lower speed, this router will be backwards compatible and run at that speed.Also note that while your WiFi in your house may run at 300Mbps, your DSL connection through your phone line will not. Max speed for this ADSL2 modem are about 10Mbps, so that is about the best you can expect if you are paying for that level of service. N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11).

the router is extender the signal but not speedup ,....i have to move the router possible near the original router is better signal to extender the netgear wn200rpt

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about is 802.11 b/g/n.
1016886
Looks like it's b/g only, so it might ruin the max throughput for other wireless clients that support N (54Mbps instead of 150Mbps)From their manual "The MC200Air operates with "n", "g" or "b" systems, however, it will not connect to a router that is "class n" only, nor on a limited access "guest" network."

I believe 2.4GHZ, I used two of these antennas on a repeater router as well as one for a USB plug in WIFI adapter, seemed to make a difference.

If your other devices are getting faster WAN speeds (e.g. to speedtest.net), it's likely your device, not the router. Your device's WiFi card may only support 802.11g, which would result in a practical maximum of ~25Mb/s.
1307357
If your device speaks 802.11g or n, this guy will work. I have one hooked to my Verizon supplied G router and we get much better though-put and signal strength with our wireless NIC cards using N.
1777169
Yes it will, N is the newest technology but these adapters are always made downward compatible. So it will work with B, A, and G networks; along with N.

always feel ridiculous that they claim the adapter can reach 866mbps. with 2 antenna, yes, 802.11ac can reach 866mbps. But as the adapter is using usb 2.0 which only has a top speed of 480mbps, the bottleneck restricted top speed. How dare they claim the adapter can reach 866mbps?
1110710
Yes, this is a normal network adapter supporting the a/b/g/n bands as well as the new ac band of the 802.11 standard. As long as you're accessing a wireless network which supports these bands as well has know their passwords (if any), then it should work without issue.

Depends on your wifi. Wifis run in B, G or N bands. 5.8 is in the N band, so as long as you have a wifi in the B or G bands, these should work without interferance. If you also are using cordless phones on your wifi phones, you need to check what band they are running on. Wifi G is 2.4 GHZ, not sure what B is, since it is pretty old. I have wifi G and cordless phones that run at 6.0 GHZ and these run without anything interfering with each other.

First, you should know that all current Wi-Fi signals from A to N operate on a 2.4ghz frequency band. G suffers from interference problems from other devices operating on the same frequency levels like wireless telephones for example. Within the 2.4Ghz band there are 14 internationally designated wi-fi channels. Depending on where you live you can access between 10 to all 14. I think the U.S. only allows 12 for reasons I won't get in to here. Bottom line is that if your neighbors are using a certain channel and you get interference, with a G router you have plenty of others to choose from. The good news is that a G router's optimal range is about 100 meters and degrades enough that only your immediate neighbors will interfere with your signal. So most of the time it isn't a problem, just switch to another channel... N routers operate on 2.4Ghz AND 5Ghz. The optimal range is also tripled to roughly 300 meters. The advantage here is that the 5Ghz band (if you decide to utilize it) doesn't have much traffic so you are ensured a good signal. But in an apartment, I always found G was fine if I switched to a channel my neighbors weren't using. So, my advice is to buy G. Also a lot of companies jumped a ahead and implemented N before it was even approved by the IEEE (it'll be official January 2010). I've had problems with all brands of N working with each other over the past few years. Also, if you buy a N, you'll have to enable B and G anyway if you have older computers or visitors with old laptops. If you don't they won't be able to use your wireless. N is too new.
