Linksys WUSB300N



Started off with installing the WUSB300N first on the Dell Inspiron 5150 (I disabled the internal wireless card).

Installing the software went smoothly, nice and easy to follow. But when it came to finding a wireless network, it just didn't happen! At first I used the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor to configure it, but it failed to find the local 802.11G wireless network. Switching over the Windows Wireless manager didn't make any difference! Going thru the documentation didn't help, but I found an updated driver at the Linksys Website.

Installing it as well as a new version of the Monitor software doesn't seem to have made any difference at all 8-(

I must be missing something here as the documentation does state "
but can also connect to Wireless-G and -B networks". I knew I should have set up the Linksys WRT350N Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link first! Oh well...

New Stuff

Just got a box from Linksys 8-)

More goodies I picked up at Networkers,
Common features are:
  • High-speed Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) networking for your notebook computer
  • MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 4 times farther and reduces dead spots
  • Up to 12 times faster than Wireless-G, but can also connect to Wireless-G and -B networks
  • Advanced wireless security with up to 256-bit encryption
