Netgear USB 2.0 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless N Adapter - Better speed and range than other USB Wireless-N adapters

  • Delivers consistent wireless connections using Dual Band Wireless-N
  • Provides enough bandwidth to support music downloads, file sharing and HD multimedia applications
  • Works with all new Wireless-N Gateways, Routers and Access Points
  • Backward compatible with older Wireless-G hotspots
  • Designed for your notebook or desktop PC
  • Supports Windows® Vista™


Hook up to the Internet with this wireless-N dual-band adapter by Netgear. The USB 2.0 adapter connects for a consistent stream of data, so you can enjoy your movies, videos, music, and more. It provides enough bandwidth to support downloading, fire sharing, and HD applications, so you can enjoy all the Internet has to offer without suffering through long buffering times.

  • Compatibility
    • If you have an older laptop or desktop, a desktop without built in Wi-Fi, or need wireless capabilities on the go, this wireless-N adapter is perfect for your needs. It works with any new wireless-N gateway, with access points, and with routers. This adapter allows you to connect to the Internet without having to install a wireless card in your system.
  • Consistency
    • When you're watching a movie or video, you don't want to be interrupted by long waits while the file buffers and downloads. With this dual-band adapter, you'll have a consistent connection that provides you with the speed you need to watch your favorites without pause. You can also share files, listen to music, download music, and more without worrying about your Internet speeds dropping dramatically. The wireless-N adapter is designed to work with a notebook or desktop, so no matter which device you're using, you'll be able to surf the Web.
  • Compatibility for Software
    • This wireless-N router supports Windows Vista, so you can use it with newer Windows systems. The router is also backwards compatible with wireless-G hotspots, which is important since many businesses have not yet upgraded to the faster wireless-N routers.

    Much less expensive than adding a network card or buying a new computer with WI-FI. I am using on an old cpu that I have had for years. I was almost ready to toss it until I found this product. Actually gets better range than my newer laptop that has WI-FI built in.

    NOT Compatiable with WINDOWS 7 64Bit!!

    This adapter does not work on Windows 7 64Bit.. Netgear hasn't released a driver for it and doesn't plan on it either. BAD BAD SUPPORT.. Will return for a Linksys.
