It enables owners of Macintosh desktop and notebook computers, such as PowerMac G4, iMac G4, PowerBook G3/G4 and iBook G3 models that didn't include built in wireless or have a non-working AirPort card, to easily add wireless networking capabilities.
The MAXPower 802.11g/b Wireless USB 2.0 Stick Adapter can deliver speeds of up to 54Mbps and offers Mac and PC users backwards compatibility with 802.11b wireless standards.

While the USB Stick Adapter can be used by itself, using the included extension cradle not only allows easy repositioning of the device to find the optimal reception position – it also solves the messy extrusion problem many USB stick devices cause.
