3Com AirConnect

Price at time of review.
3Coms AirConnect is one of the high-speed wireless LAN (WLAN) contenders, combining three PC Card network interface cards and a base station. The AirConnect cards dont inspire confidence, as the aerial assembly isnt securely fixed to the card body.
3Com looks to have remedied this with the release of the new XJACK cards (estimated at $400 each). These cards have a pop-up antenna and are less prone to breaking off the card.
Three Type II wireless PC Cards, IEEE 802.11b (High Rate specified), 2.4GHz DSSS compliant.
Supports: 1Mb/s, 2Mb/s, 5.5Mb/s and 11Mb/s bandwidth. Wireless Access Point: 10BaseT and 9-pin serial ports, Web browser management, WEP encryption.
Indoor range: 80ft (11Mb/s), 120ft (5.5Mb/s).
Supplied: drivers for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000; serial cable, PowerBASE-T adaptor, mounting plate

A powerful and capable suite with some excellent features, although it isn’t the easiest to use, nor the cheapest around.

See why this relatively unknown, but simple, efficient and affordable package holds its own against the likes of AVG, Norton, Kaspersky and McAfee.

Average User Rating 3

We've been impressed with Norton 360 - security for those who want something simple but effective. We're also impressed with the changes in Norton Internet Security 2009. So how does Norton 360 version 3.0 stack up?
