About the Product

WL562USB provides wireless connectivity to desktop and notebook computers. The

device performs the function of a radio broadcaster and receiver to communicate with a

wireless network. This gives the computer connected with WL562USB the capability to

communicate with other devices and use the Internet service available in the wireless

network.

WL562USB is capable of connecting with wireless networks that utilize the Wireless N

protocol. This device also supports connection to other wireless network standards like

Wireless G or Wireless B. WL562USB is easy to setup - install the necessary driver

software, connect it to an available USB slot, and then connect to a wireless network. The

device comes with a Windows-based software called WL562USB Utility that can be used

to connect to wireless networks and create profiles which remembers the configuration

details for a wireless network.

Note:

Note: Wireless connection speed is not correlated to Internet access speed. Internet

Note:Note:

access speed from popular broadband DSL or cable Internet services normally

provides up to 3 Mbps connection, which can be easily handled even by the slower

Wireless B protocol.
