New PRISMIQ Mini-Fi Instantly Connects Desktop and Notebook Computers to a Home Network Eliminating Need to Install a PCI Card or Wireless Bridge

PRISMIQ, Inc., the creator of award-winning networking products, today announced the availability of the PRISMIQ Mini-Fi, a Wi-Fi compliant (IEEE 802.11g) wireless USB2.0 adapter that instantly connects desktop and notebook computers to a home network.

"The PRISMIQ Mini-Fi offers a cost-effective solution to this problem by enabling users to avoid the cost and disruption associated with setting up a home network by enabling users to quickly and easily connect desktop and notebook computers to their home network."
