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 802.11g WLAN USB STICK will bring you into such a high-speed network sphere. This
document describes how to install your 802.11g WLAN USB STICK, which aims to let your
computer communicate with 802.11 networks quickly and seamlessly. Wireless LAN is 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
networks, which is also known as Ad-hoc mode or IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set), or
infrastructure networks. 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 802.11g WLAN USB STICK provides, please read this manual
