If you have a computer that has slow wireless networking connectivity, you can always change the card out, but for some people that isn’t the answer. A USB network adapter that supports the faster tech might be easier.

Trendnet is here to help and they have a new USB network adapter that is dual band and will work at 2.4GHz or 5GHz. That means that HD video and other bandwidth heavy things can use the 5GHz band. The adapter has WPS for easy setup and a MIMO antenna for the 450Mbps transfer speeds. It will cost you $90.

Who says that all WiFi routers need to look out of place in your home? Not I and certainly not Netgear. The N750 keeps its antennae stashed inside and out of sight. Your wife will certainly appreciate that as it at least keeps a low profile.

Aside from looking pretty sleek, this dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n router is capable of speeds of up to 450Mbps over the 5GHz band and 300Mbps at 2.4Ghz, for an “aggregate combined data rate” of 750Mbps. That just means that you can connect one device in either band without the transfer rate of the other suffering. You won’t get full 750Mbps. The N750 also sports a ReadySHARE USB port for network storage, parental controls, and guest access. All for just $150.

The Belkin N600 DB wireless dual-band N+ router is a wireless router that will help you with advanced wireless performance for video streaming, online gaming, and all of your other media-intensive applications.

It will deliver speeds of up to 300Mbps and features four Ethernet LAN ports, one USB port. It also comes with a suite of Belkin apps. The Belkin N600 DB wireless dual-band N+ router will cost you $69.99.

Verizon has outed the Novatel Wireless MiFi 4510L mobile hotspot. The device allows businesses and consumers to create a personal Wi-Fi cloud capable of sharing Verizon Wireless 4G LTE and 3G Mobile Broadband with up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices at the same time.

The 4510L features a WiFi b/g/n radio, and an e-ink display that displays signal strength, battery level, roaming and the connected devices. Battery life is good for up to 5-hours of active use. You can purchase the MiFi 4510L 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot now for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, with a required 2 year contract on Verizon’s 4G LTE plan.

The new Logitec (not the big name Logitech we all know and love) LAN-WH450N/GR features four Gigabit Ethernet ports, 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networking for a theoretical 450Mbps, and a wind turbine on top for good measure.

That design gives you improved wireless with three antennas, but really I think they just wanted a router-copter because they thought it looked cool. These new routers will arrive in Japan in mid-April for about ¥19,000 (or $230).

Google has made its pick for the Google Fiber project today and said that it will first roll out the 1Gbps Internet access in Kansas City, Kansas. Good news for folks there. The city was picked from about 1,100 candidates in all. The service should go live in 2012 if the Board of Commissioners signs on.

The project is basically a real-world way to test the future of high speed Internet connections. We need to prepare and a 1Gbps connection has more than enough bandwidth for streaming 3D video and other tasks that lie ahead. More bandwidth opens up a lot of possibilities. Real-time telemedicine, remote education, and perfect quality video conferencing to name a few.
