One of my Macs is a Mini just old enough to have been supplied with a low speed wireless card. It has been deployed as a media center a long way from anywhere and is therefor connected by wireless.
This was all OK until I wanted to stream HD video … can’t be done over 802.11g as at high resolutions this is just not fast enough. Since my local Apple Reseller wanted over $300 (that’s AUD) to supply and fit an upgrade to the internal card the idea was shelved. Until now that is …
Enter the Mvix Nubbin Tiny Wireless N Adapter discovered on ThinkGeek who say …
Fashionably, sporting a micro-footprint with protrusion of less than 2cm, Mvix Nubbin is capable of delivering data at 150Mbps. With its small 3/4th-inch size, Mvix Nubbin is an attractive accessory for a wide variety of applications and devices constrained by space and size. Compliant with IEEE 802.1n draft 3.0 and IEEE 802.1b/g, Nubbin supports WMM® and WMM-PS® (IEEE 802.1e QoS Standard). Nubbin also offers advanced features like innovative WPS® (Wireless Protected Setup), auto-builds connection, and synchronizes settings. It supports all encryption standards and is compatible with all operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista, Mac OS X and Linux.
The Mvix Nubbin adapts to any standard USB2.0 port and connects wirelessly to a router to stream data at high throughput in a secure environment. Mvix Nubbin is also backward compatible and interoperable with 802.11b/g devices… but you would never ever want to go there unless forced to.
