IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 PCI Wireless Adapter (2T3R), 300Mbps Wireless Download Data Rates, 64/128-Bit WEP, WPA PSK & WPA2 PSK
- MIMO technology for Ralink 2 Transmit antenna 3 Receive antenna solution.
- 802.11 b/g/n supports throughput up to 300 Mbps upload and download.
- Multiple BSSID and WMM, WMM-PS support.
- Compatible with Windows 2000, XP (32/64 bit), Vista (32/64 bit), Win7 (32/64 bit); Mac 10.3/ 10.4/ 10.5.
- The IEEE 802.11n Draft prohibits using High Throughput with WEP or TKIP as the unicast cipher. If you use these encryption methods (e.g. WEP, WPA-TKIP), your data rate will drop to 54 Mbps. Rosewill recommend setting your router’s wireless encryption as WPA-AES or WPA2-AES or update the latest firmware, in order to keep your wireless transfer rate at N speed.
