1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the 802.11g Hi-Gain Wireless LAN USB Adapter. This adapter complies with IEEE

802.11g standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also work

with IEEE 802.11b devices. When the card connects to 11b devices, the link speed will be up to 11Mbps.

By integrating with 6dBi Directional Hi-Gain Antenna, this USB Adapter increases the signal strength and the

focus of wireless coverage so that the link quality and communication distance are significantly improved. For

security issues, this adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your wireless network

from eavesdropping. It also provides WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that combines IEEE 802.1x and

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. With WPA function, users are required to authorize

before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a

secret key dynamically changed.

This adapter supports USB 2.0 interface, which is forty times than USB 1.1 interface. Through the faster data

transfer interface, this adapter can deliver more data at a time and raise the data transfer rate to 54Mbps.

USB 2.0 is also backward compatible with USB 1.1/1.0 standards, so the adapter can work with PCs or

Laptops that only support USB 1.1/1.0 interface. This card is cost-effective, together with the versatile

features; it is the best solution for you to build your wireless network.
