  Many people may not see the point in spending big bucks for a simple USB wireless 'n' adapter, especially when a cheaper, basic model will provide 90% of the functionality for 20% of the price. While that may be true, the less expensive options do not often come with dual-band operation and 256-bit encryption. Because the WUSB600N can operate at 2.4GHz or 5GHz, you can take full advantage of unused frequencies (provided the router supports them). Another effect that this capability has is full backwards compatibility with 802.11a/b/g standards, giving you the versatility to switch between different networks without having to swap adapters. The dual-band design, high speed operation, full feature list, and user-friendliness make the Linksys WUSB600N one of the best choices for a wireless 'N' USB adapter....read less

  A dual band signal, fast data speeds, and backwards compatibility with older routers make the Linksys dual band wireless-N USB adapter one of the best on the market. The dual band technology allows the adapter to operate on either the 2.4 and 5GHz radio bands, which allows you to choose the one with the least congestion and least interference with other wireless devices, which in turn makes for faster downloads, and surfing. WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security are all supported, with up to 256-bit encryption. Though you'll get the best performance by pairing it with a Wireless-N router, the Linksys WUSB600N adapter is backwards compatible with wireless-G, -B, and -A networks....read less

  Combining the convenience of a USB adapter and the high speed capability of the Draft n 2.0 standard, the Linksys WUSB600N offers the best of both worlds. Better still, the WUSB600N supports dual-band operation which allows you to use either the 2.4GHz frequency or the 5GHz frequency - whichever works better for you. The USB adapter design allows you to move between devices, though the adapter ships with a stand for use with desktop computers. WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security are all supported, with up to 256-bit encryption. The WUSB600N is also backwards compatible with the older 802.11a/b/g standards, though the best results will be achieved with a matching Linksys 802.11n (Draft 2.0) router. The biggest drawback of the Linksys WUSB600N is its price - often several times more expensive than the more basic options that litter the market, though the lesser options are not as feature-rich as the WUSB600N....read less
