Kinivo Offers Second-Generation USB Wireless Adapters For Linux Users
Friday, September 12, 2014:
Laptops, these days, but not desktops, always come with an in-built
wireless card and these wireless cards work well on Windows mostly. But
for Linux users, non-existent or problematic wireless drivers can be an
absolute nightmare. That's why a USB wireless adapter is highly
recommended for any Linux user.
Unfortunately, not all USB
adapters work with Linux out of the box, so you need to choose the right
model. To serve your purpose, Kinivo has released two USB wireless
adapters, which will work fine with Linux-based operating systems.
Kinivo has announced thus, "Kinivo, producer of consumer electronics and
mobile device accessories for everyday life, introduces their
second-generation Wireless Enhanced USB Adapters; the WID320 and WID340
all-in-one solutions for enhancing existing Wi-Fi capabilities. Catering
to different needs and price points, the WID340, available for $15.99,
has dual-band capabilities allowing users to connect to 5GHz and 2.4GHz
networks and support speeds up to 300 Mpbs. The WID320, available for
$9.99, connects only to 2.4GHz networks. Simply plug either adapter
directly into the USB port of your device, or place the USB up to three
feet away using the included extension cable to increase speed, improve
signal strength and heighten overall wireless Internet performance at
different levels.”
Further, explanation from Kinivo says, "The less expensive WID320 connects to 2.4GHz networks only, which is ideal for professionals who work from home or families with multiple devices under one roof. Using Infrastructure, Ad-Hoc and Soft AP working modes, users can share bandwidth accordingly with other nearby devices. Like the WID340, the WID320 is also compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and offers security encryption using WEP, WPA and WPA2 (TKIP+AES).” So if you're a hardcore Linux user you need to have a Linux-compatible USB wireless adapter, which will help you a lot when you're installing Fedora or the likes. WID340, available at $15.99, is expected to perform fast and it can become a permanent solution for budget desktop builds. Raspberry Pi users can also take a note of it.
