Product Description
The Belkin Wireless Pre-N Notebook Network Card connects your notebook computer to your wireless network with new Belkin Pre-N technology. It lets you share your broadband Internet connection farther and faster than ever. Featuring smart antenna technology, the Pre-N design helps combat distortion and interference so the Network Card can send its data streams greater distances, more reliably. With a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router as the central connection point of your network, your computers can share your high-speed Internet account as well as files, printers, and hard drives. While on the road, you can use the Belkin Wireless Pre-N Network Notebook Card to connect to any of the increasingly available public wireless hotspots found in airports, coffee shops and hotels. (For these connections, you do not need a wireless router). Belkin's Pre-N technology offers backward compatibility with existing 802.11g and 802.11b products, to provide seamless integration into existing wireless networks. In fact, its advanced technology enables Belkin Pre-N products to significantly improve the performance of standard 802.11g and 802.11b devices in the mixed network environment.

Amazing for long range April 22, 2008
J. Fabre
My neightbour has been sharing his WiFi with me for the last 2 years and his router is 20 meters away from my laptop with 4 walls in-between. My laptop is a centrino with a high standard centrino WiFi network adapter. But it was simply too much. I struggled to understand why it kept disconnecting from the network and getting a very irregular data flow. I found out this 'high standard' network adapter might have some problems (not listed on Intel Website but in loads of forums). But I realised all that was just bullsh*** after I took the risk to buy the Belkin Pre-N. The only problem WiFi B and G networks have is the signal stability in long-range environments. If that matters for you, believe me this pre-N is plainly a miracle. Perfectly stable 34 mBits/s in my case even made me wonder if the router had not changed place (and of course it did not).
Brilliant November 14, 2007

Not knowing much about the technology of wi fi I needed to find a card for my Toshiba laptop principally for home use having just come on to broadband. I read a number of reviews about alternative USB products and decided that having more extensive coverage would be a useful consideration. This MIMO adaptor has been brilliant - plug it in, run the software, and away it goes. So easy and excellent reception as it works anywhere in the house and garden. Only small downside is that the card projects 35mm out from the laptop but still fits my carrier without having to remove it.
