One of the wireless adapters installs in most desktop and Tower PCs is Wireless PCI adapters besides a more practical USB wireless adapters. All of the networking manufacturers offer wireless PCI adapters for the wireless networking.
One of wireless adapters from Linksys is Linksys Wireless PCI Adapter WMP300N which uses the latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N’s “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area.
