Linksys WUSB54GC User Manual

The easy way to connect your desktop or
notebook to a high-speed wireless network!

Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless
network at incredible speeds with the Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter.
By incorporating USB 2.0 and Wireless-G the Adapter delivers data rates up to
54Mbps (5 times as fast as 802.11b), without the trouble of opening up the
case of your desktop computer.

To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible
with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) You can
plug it directly into your PC, or use the included USB extension cord to put the
Adapter anywhere you'd like, up to five feet away.

The new push button setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless
devices. Just push the button on the Access Point and on your other
SecureEasySetup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a safe
connection, protected by the industrial-strength security of Wireless Protected
Access (WPA). It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is
necessary. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the
Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. The Compact Wireless-G
USB Adapter is also compatible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard,
with data rates up to 11Mbps.

The Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter lets you put your computer almost
anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now
you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to
get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in
touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with
friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk
storage space with other computers on the network. You'll also be able to
connect with any of the growing number of public hotspots springing up in
coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers.
