The High Power Wireless Notebook Adapter is a CardBus card that provides wireless
connectivity to notebook PCs. It uses an internal amplier to increase the radio output
so that it can connect to APs/Wireless Routers further away and transfer data at range
faster than traditional 802.11g CardBus cards.
Buffalo Technology recommends use with the High Power Wireless Router (WZR-HP-G54)
for maximum range and performance.
An external antenna can be added to the High Power Wireless Notebook Adapter to increase its range and versatility. Antenna information can be found on page 24.

AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure
System) is a simple, one-touch setup for
connecting wireless clients to an access
point while enforcing the most secure
possible connection encryption type.
Users no longer need to worry about
choosing the proper security protocols,
IP addresses, or SSID. AOSS determines
the optimal connection and congures
itself in seconds. If your router doesn’t
support AOSS, turn to page 15 to
congure your connection manually
with Client Manager or page 22 to use
Wireless Zero Cong.
The AOSS button for this wireless client is in its Client Manager software. Start
Client Manager by right clicking on the black antenna icon in your System Tray,
or by launching the Client Manager from your Start Menu: Programs >> Buffalo
>>AirStation Utility >> Client Manager.
