Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a BenQ AWL300 Wireless LAN USB Adapter. The
AWL300 Wireless LAN USB Adapter lets you connect to your network and the
Internet without needing to be tethered to a fixed location by a physical cable, while
still getting the same data transfer rates as with traditional Ethernet. You can use it
with any desktop or notebook PC with a USB port. In addition to allowing you to
enjoy the wonders of wireless networking, the AWL300 provides two operating
modes—ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer) and infrastructure mode (station-to-AP)—to
meet to your varying needs at different purposes.
