Enjoy the freedom of Wi-Fi connectivity for all your Ethernet-enabled devices at home or in the office with the Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter from IOGEAR. With older laptops, AV receivers, network printers and other devices that can only be connected via Ethernet, you are at the mercy of a hardwired data connection. With the Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter from IOGEAR, you can breathe new life into your old electronics by making them Wi-Fi enabled. By using two antennas (2T2R), the adapter delivers data rates of up to 300 Mbps, which is twice as fast as IOGEAR's Universal Wireless-N Adapter (GWU627). The increased speed provides enough bandwidth for faster file transfers, music downloads, video streaming, online gaming and HD multimedia applications. The Ethernet 2 WiFi adapter has been designed to be thinner and lighter to keep applications clean and organised. It is 40 % smaller than its predecessor without sacrificing performance. The compact design gives you the freedom to place your home entertainment centre virtually anywhere and stay connected to your wireless network. This device does not need to be powered from a wall socket, but is powered via a USB port so you can place it anywhere. For example, the widely available USB ports on televisions make it quick and easy to connect the Ethernet 2 WiFi adapter to any USB-enabled television using the USB power cable supplied.
