Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the IEEE 802.11n Wireless USB Adapter.
Wireless USB Adapter has an extra foundation which is designed to
make Wireless USB Adapter get better signal when it is plugging
into the foundation and can be easily move around. In addition,
Wireless USB Adapter is backward compatible with 802.11b/g.
When Wireless USB Adapter is connecting to the standard 802.11b,
802.11g or 802.11n APs or routers, it can perform much better than
other standard stations.
Wireless USB Adapter supports higher data throughput than the
IEEE802.11n standard (up to 150Mbps).
For the security of WLAN, Wireless USB Adapter supports
64/128-bit WEP data encryption which protects your wireless
network from eavesdropping.
It also supports WPA/WPA2 which combines IEEE802.1x and TKIP
technologies. Client users are required to authorize before
accessing to APs or routers, and the data transmitted on the
network is encrypted and decrypted by a dynamically changed
secret key. Wireless USB Adapter supports WPA2 function which
provides a stronger encryption through AES which is the most
advanced WLAN solution for IEEE802.11i. Besides, Wireless USB
Adapter supports WPS function which provides a stronger
encryption and easier configuration through WPA2 which is the
most advanced WLAN solution for IEEE802.11i.
