ZyAIR AG-100 & AG-200

802.11a/b/g Cardbus and USB Adaptors

Benefits

Dual-Band Coverage

ZyXEL ZyAIR AG-100 & AG-200 client adaptors provide full support for 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g

and can connect to just about any wireless LAN. Intelligent software constantly monitors the wireless

connection and will change bands to avoid interference and maintain high throughput level.

Atheros Super AG Support

Atheros Super A & G are popular methods for achieving faster than 802.11g data rates. Both the ZyAIR

AG client adaptors fully support Atheros AG and can connect at up to 108Mbps in either 802.11a or

802.11g mode when connecting to a compatible wireless access point.

Atheros XR Technology

ZyXEL’s ZyAIR AG adaptors support the new Atheros XR technology. When paired with an Atheros XR

compatible access point, connection distances can be greatly enhanced over typical 802.11a or 802.11g

coverage.

Enhanced Wireless Security

In addition to basic 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, the ZyAIR AG client adaptors provide enhanced

wireless security mechanisms of 802.1x authentication and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) as well. These

enhanced security measures restrict access only to authorized users and prevent data from being tapped

during wireless transmission.

Easy Installation and Operation

Installation is quick and easy with user friendly setup wizards. The

Plug-and-Play feature allows for fast and effortless connection to a

wireless network.
