The most common type of wireless network adapter is one that is plugged into a USB port of a computer. It offers more convenience than a PCI wireless adapter card, which has to be placed inside a special slot on a motherboard of a computer.

Something users may not be aware of is the maximum speed and compatibility of their wireless network adapters. For example, an adapter with 802.11g technology that is connected to a wireless router that uses 802.11 n technology will only get a maximum speed of the G band technology. For maximum performance, it is recommended to use an adapter that has the same 802.11 technology as the wireless router.

When selecting a wireless network adapter for a wireless network, it is important to be aware of the technology and capabilities of the router. The latest technology used in wireless routers is 802.11N, which is backward compatible with older networking protocols such as 802.11g and 802.b. However, the performance of signal transfers of a wireless network adapter is limited by the technology used in the router. For example, a wireless-N adapter will not reach its full Mbps speeds of data transfer when connected to a wireless-G router.
