GETTING TO KNOW WIRELESS LAN USB ADAPTER

LED

 LED turns on when POWER is applied to the WLAN 11g USB Adapter.

LED is blinking when PC is sending data through WLAN 11g USB Adapter.

Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b/g standard committee

could be configured as :

 Ad Hoc wireless LAN, or  Infrastructure wireless LAN.

Ad Hoc network is a group of PCs installed with wireless LAN cards, this

group of PCs is called a BSS (Basic Service Set). PCs in this group can use

their wireless LAN cards to communicate with each other, but can not

connect to the Internet.

Ad Hoc Wireless Network Infrastructure Wireless Network

The most obvious difference between Infrastructure wireless network

and Ad Hoc wireless network is that the PCs in Infrastructure wireless

network can access the resource in the Internet through Access Point.

Depending on your requirement, you can easily set up your PC’s

network to be a “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure” wireless network. Generally

speaking, if in your network, there is an Access Point in it, we recommend

you to set your network as an “Infrastructure”, so it can connect to

the Internet.
