TRENDnet Ships 450Mbps Wireless N Gaming Adapter
Speed kills, and speed is also required if you're planning to do any
hardcore online gaming. Ping times can mean life and death in an online
deathmatch, and TRENDnet is looking out for your head. In a sense,
anyway. The company has just shipped their newest wireless adapter, the
450Mbps Wireless N Gaming Adapter. The TEW-687GA networks computers,
gaming consoles, televisions, and DVRs to the Internet at up to 450Mbps,
with a Gigabit Ethernet port maintain high speeds with wired
accessories.
The whole thing is a driver-free ordeal, with three spatial streams per antenna (MIMO) generating a maximum theoretical wireless throughput of 450Mbps. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is also included, and while it's tailored for gaming, it's obviously able to handle any type of wireless activity in the home. It'll sell for $149.99, which ain't cheap, but it's definitely one of the faster solutions out there.
