Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a BenQ AWL400 Wireless LAN USB Stick. The AWL400
Wireless LAN USB Stick 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 AWL400 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.
