INTRODUCTION
Being five times faster than the speed of IEEE802.11b compliant devices, the innovative 802.11g
standard lets the wireless network become incredibly easier and faster (up to 54Mbps) than ever.
Your Wireless 802.11g/b USB Module will bring you into such a high-speed network sphere. This
document describes how to install your Wireless 802.11g/b USB Module, which aims to let your
computer communicate with 802.11 networks quickly and seamlessly. Wireless LAN is the local
area networking without wires, which utilize the radio frequency technology to transmit and receive
data between PCs or other networked devices. Wireless LAN is able to configure either
peer-to-peer network, which is also known as Ad-hoc mode or IBSS (Independent Basic Service
Set), or infrastructure network. The former is suitable for small or temporary peer-to-peer
configurations, and the later is offering fully distributed data connectivity via AP (Access Point),
which allows users to roaming around.
To obtain most benefits your Wireless 802.11g/b USB Module provides, please read this manual
