About the Product
WL583USB provides wireless connectivity to desktop or 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 WL583USB the capability to communicate with other devices and use the Internet service available in the wireless network.
WL583USB 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. WL583USB 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 Windowsbased software called WL583USB Utility that can be used to connect to wireless networks and create profiles which remembers the configuration details for a wireless network.
Note: Wireless connection speed is not correlated to Internet access speed. Internet 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.
