Quickertek Quicky 3 500mW USB Transceiver Quicky3™
3rd Genernation Quicky is a 500mW USB Transceiver
For All
Macs with an open USB port and running at least 10.4.x.
The
Quicky3 is the third generation Quicky, is an improvement over the
previous Quicky models. Having a mile line of sight range, this
802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz unit draws 1/2 less power then the 1st & 2nd
generations and has the theoretical limit of 300 megabits per second of
802.11n (the previous models were 802.11b/g which ran 54 megabits per
second), has a detachable 5 dbi antenna so that you can connect other
antennas.
You can take it with you and use it anywhere you want
better wireless. The antenna and transceiver boost your wireless RF
power from a stock 30 milliwatts to 500 milliwatts - at least sixteen
times the wireless power.
That means you can not only see more
wireless networks, but when you decide to connect, you'll also get high
speeds that make wireless networking as solid as being connected using a
network cable.
Purpose
Although Apple notebooks are best
on the mobile computing market, they do have one shortcoming, wireless
power. Poor signal strength is common and must be dealt with, so why
settle for less? The Quicky3 USB is an awesome solution for Mac users
that demand wireless performance that is significantly improved over
what their Macs have. In a very small package, the Quicky3™ makes the
wireless signal going into the Mac sixteen times as strong.
Functionality
The
Quicky3™ as stated before takes the existing wireless signal and
amplifies it to the point that there is 16x the original signal
strength. The Quicky contains a 500 milliwatt transceiver built in. To
further its capability there is a fully removable antenna.
Convenience
This
is an easy install with a small software package. No modification
whatsoever is required to your Mac. Using the USB standard also allows
the device to be powered directly off of the USB connection.
Additionally if you wish to not have the Quicky3 hung on your monitor
panel, feel free to clip it on just about anything.
Compatibility
The
Quicky conforms to the wireless standards 802.11b/g/n, making it
compatible with all networks not exclusively AirPort networks. In fact
it should work on most if not all wireless networks, especially modern
ones. Supports 64/128~bit WEP, WPA2 (AES with IEEE 802.11x) and WPA(TKIP
with IEEE 802.11x) wireless encryption
