Shrunken Wireless-N USB Adapter from Planex

  November 6th, 2008



WE RECOMMEND

We've seen thumbdrives, Bluetooth, USB TV tuner and external sound card shrunk into a mini USB dongle that is un-obstructive to neighboring ports. Now it's time for a miniaturized 802.11n adapter. How small is it you might think? Try to envision a USB adapter that is one-sixth the size of a regular USB dongle, or just check out the picture above.

Planex's GW-USMicronN, despite its small size, supports 802.11n with MIMO and is backward compatible with 802.11g. The tiny network plug doesn't skimp on security features, providing all encryption standards plus Wi-Fi Protected Setup - essentially allowing you to connect to a wireless LAN without having to enter mile-long passcode. Last but not least is Xlink Kai support for conneting consoles across the Internet as if they are on the local area network.
