The second novelty, EW-7717Un, designed as an external module that connects to the USB port on your laptop.
Company Edimax stressed that the presented controller technology supports transmission and reception of data in multiple streams (MIMO) and have a special architecture that provides significantly less energy than conventional devices, 802. 11n. In addition, the encryption algorithms mentioned support WPA/WPA2 and WEP, as well as the function of WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), allows you to install wireless security.
At the end of this year, in addition to the adapters EW-7727In, and EW-7717Un Edimax plans to release a simplified model of the wireless (standard 802. 11n) broadband router.
