“These adapters deliver up to 300 Mbps of receive bandwidth; in addition to providing a host of features that enhance today’s mobile lifestyle.”
While I could conceivably look up 300 Mbps of receive bandwidth, the ‘features that enhance today’s mobile lifestyle’ remind me of that Gary Larson cartoon where the guy is talking to the dog and all it hears is ‘bla bla bla’.  How about:
“These adapters deliver up to 300 Mbps of receive bandwidth - more than double that of the nearest competitor - in addition to providing features like power management, WiFi access point detection, and <whatever else> to make mobility easy.”
