Speed and security: the two hallmarks of a good wireless network and the WMP300N from Linksys helps deliver both. This Draft-N adapter has transfer speeds of up to 12x that of a standard 802.11g network with up to 4x the range. Draft-N’s high speeds let you wirelessly stream audio and video while making a VOIP call even better than with a standard Fast Ethernet wired connection.
The available 256 bit security means that nobody can read your transmissions and snag your data. This helps protect your identity and any sensitive information that you’re working on. Also, a secure network helps keep people honest by preventing bandwidth theft.
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Im a permanent resident at a hotel on the east coast. The router is downstairs on the 1st floor and across the parking lot in the Office. NO ONE CAN RECIEVE THE SIGNAL EXCEPT ME! This thing is the envy of the hood. Its paired with a Draft N router (linksys) set to factory defaults which apparently caters to these babies pretty well. My neighbor has a G adapter, and at 150yds cant pickup squat.....well nuff said!
Cons: Maybe the short cable from the card to the adapter. Your very limited to the circle you can move the adapter searching for the sweet spot, (only the true wireless junkies can understand this habit). I get 4 out of 5 bars at about 150yrds, but maybe its ego that drives me to search for the 5th bar.
Other Thoughts: Hey, its NewEgg.....buy it, try it, love it!

Pros: bought a pair of WMP300N and WRT300N. Long range(100ft), great bandwidth(270Mbs) perfect for high end users. I have never found a solution for network gaming in my large house until now. I have tried netgear, Dlink b/g and always have connection drop during network game like BF2, WC3 etc.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: The high quality external antenna really help longer range since you can place it high on your table and away from your computer which usually in the corner and among tons of wiring. Just centralize the direction of your router in between 2 plates.

Pros: Antenna Extends from tower to "try" and get better signal.
Cons: I have finally had enough of this piece of junk! This has to be the WORST adapter from Linksys that I have ever used. for moare than i year now I have suffered from low connection speeds, low signal strengths, and constantly dropped connections.
Finally I purchased a little usb receiver for the heck of it from zonet and BAM! Full reception! I can't believe it.
Other Thoughts: if you're two feet from your wireless router, than you'll be ok, but if you plan to have any sort of distance between you and your router (i.e. 2.1 feet) than do NOT buy this reciever.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I did not like my D-link Adapter as the range was not all that good. I opted to buy the LinkSYS. WMP300N based upon my past successful use of their products. I am currently running WIN 7 32 bit. I popped this in the slot and let WINDOWS Handle the drivers. In a few Minutes, The Icon came up in the tray and I had Four solid Bars. There is nothing more to do. This thing is fast and easy ...
Cons: My only con is the cord for the Antenna could be a bit longer, but I would not deduct anything for that .
Other Thoughts: This product works as advertised. If you are using either Vista or Win 7 do not install the drivers. the operating system will take care of you...Piece of Cake

Going into my third year, and third OS on this adapter!

Pros: This adapter is fantastic to be quite honest. I first got it on Windows XP Home SP2, since then, I have ran it on Windows XP Home SP3, Vista RTM/SP1/SP2 (x86 & x64) and now Windows 7 Professional x64. If you are looking for a wireless N adapter, quite frankly, you would be silly to get anything else!!
Cons: None at all
Other Thoughts: Windows Vista/7 has auto installing drivers for this adapter too, you just can't go wrong! This is the most reliable and best adapter I have ever come across and I am extremely pleased with it.

Highlights
Wireless-N The LINKSYS WMP300N PCI Wireless Adapter uses the latest wireless networking technology: Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate by overlaying the signals of multiple radios, and uses signal reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels up to 4 times farther than standard Wireless-G. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. This adapter works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, it can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speed up to 12 times faster than standard Wireless-G.
Wireless Security With support for up to 256-bit encryption, the LINKSYS WMP300N PCI Wireless Adapter offers reliable network protection and safeguards your data and privacy by providing access to a secure wireless network.
