1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing EMTEC 802.11g Wireless LAN USB Adapter. This adapter complies with

IEEE 802.11g standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can

also work with IEEE 802.11b devices. When the adapter connects to 11b devices, the link speed will

be up to 11Mbps.

For WLAN security issues, this adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your

wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature

technology. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the

data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key.

Furthermore, this adapter supports WPA2 function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism

through AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and

government users.

The power consumption of the adapter is also very low. Furthermore, this adapter provides several

levels of power saving modes allowing user customizes the way of saving the power from his/her

portable or handheld devices.

This adapter is cost-effective, together with the versatile features; it is the best solution for you to build

your wireless network.
