Wireless networks are getting faster. It began with Wireless A maximum which clocked up speeds of about 54Mbps. Following A was B which gave a boost to range from 100 - 150 feet but in doing that the speed dropped to 11Mbps. Wireless G was next which basically mixed the best of A and B together to make a 150 feet range at 54Mbps. The next is Wireless N which boosts the speed by a fair bit up to 150Mbps with a range of 230 feet.

Wireless N routers have been available for a while now. A problem happens though in that most people have older laptops that still use b / g speeds and therefore, you waste a lot of speed. This is where the Mvix Wireless N adapter comes in to play.

The Mvix is a Wireless N adapter that is USB and is very small in size. When attached to your laptop it sticks out just 2cm which keeps it out of the way, yet provides far greater network speeds between the laptop and the Wireless N router.

802.1n compliant with IEEE draft 3.0 and IEEE 802.1b / g, nubbins supports WMM ® and WMM-PS ® (IEEE 802.1e standard QoS). Nubbins also offers advanced features like innovative ® WPS (Wireless Protected Setup), builds self-connection, and synchronizes settings. It supports all standard encryption and is compatible with all operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista, Mac OS X and Linux.

The Mvix nubbins adapts to any standard USB 2.0 port and connects wirelessly to a router to stream data at high throughput in a secure environment. Nubbins Mvix is also backward compatible and interoperable with 802.11b / g devices … but you would never ever want to go there unless forced to.
