The Golden Media Power WIFI USB Adapter is a wireless network adapter designed to add Wi-Fi connectivity to Golden Media set-top boxes and other compatible devices. It connects via USB 2.0/1.1 and operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band using 802.11b/g/n standards. The rotating and swivelling antenna can be repositioned to improve signal strength and extend range compared to a fixed-antenna design.

The adapter uses a MediaTek MT7601UN chipset and supports data security through 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK with TKIP and AES encryption. Media access control is CSMA/CA with ACK. It is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 10, Linux, and macOS X.
