Wireless USB Adapter and Driver
Installation
2Wire’s 802.11g Wireless USB Adapter is a wireless networking device that is
connected to a USB port on your computer using a USB cable. Wireless networking
provides the same connectivity as Ethernet without the wires. Expanding or
redesigning your network is easy, and unlike cabled Ethernet, the 2Wire 802.11g
Wireless USB Adapter allows users to roam throughout the home or office while
remaining connected to the local area network (LAN).
