DWL-G1222.4GHz Wireless LANKey Features802.11g Wireless LAN USB AdapterThe DWL-G122 is a high-performance 802.11g wireless LAN USB adapter that connects your computer to a high-speedwireless LAN. This adapter simply plugs to your computer through a fast USB 2.0 interface to provide up to 54Mbps wirelessspeed. With industry standard interoperability, backward compatibility with 802.11b devices and plug-and-play installation,this adapter is an ideal solution for notebook and laptop PC users needing fast and standard mobile network connection.UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUSUp to 54Mbps Transmission SpeedCompatible With 802.11bEasy Migration to Higher BandwidthNetwork SecurityThe DWL-G122 provides speeds of up to 54Mbps whenused with other 802.11g wireless devices. This comparesfavorably with 802.11b adapters that offer only 11Mbpstransmission.Like the 802.11b devices, the DWL-G122 uses a single2.4GHz wireless frequency, eliminating the complexity ofdualband networking. 802.11g's compatibility with existingwireless LAN standards means that you do not need tochange your entire network to maintain connectivity.By maintaining compatibility with your existing wirelessnetwork equipment, this adapter lets you upgrade to ahigher speed at the pace you want. The DWL-G122 andother 802.11g standard devices can be gradually added toyour network, while the rest of your older network remainsperfectly connected.TMThe DWL-G122 supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)to provide the necessary security protocols and tools, soyou can communicate with other wireless usersconfidentially, access sensitive information or send data thatis dynamically encrypted as it's sent. WPA allowsauthorization and identification of users based on a secretkey that changes automatically at a regular interval. Used inconjunction with a RADIUS server, WPA uses TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporalkey every 10,000 packets. This insures much greatersecurity than the standard WEP security, which requires thekeys to be changed manually.The DWL-G122 is equipped with a fast USB 2.0 port and aUSB cable that connects to your computer, providing datathroughput at up to 480Mbps between the network adapterand the host computer. That is about 40 times faster than theearlier USB 1.1 specification, allowing you to takeadvantage of the high 54Mbps wireless speed that thisadapter provides.With USB hot swap and plug-and-play capabilities, theDWL-G122 provides you with fast and easy connectivity towireless devices and users, no matter if they use the802.11b or the fast 802.11g standard.Fast USB 2.0 Interface802.11bg wireless LAN standard, backward compatiblewith 802.11b devices2.4GHz frequency bandFast USB 2.0 connection to notebook/desktop computerUp to 54Mbps wireless data transfer rateUser-selectable WEP 64/128-bit data encryption and WPAsecuritySupports Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, XPIntegrated internal antennaCompact pocket-sized design, lightweightIncludes a configuration utility to discover availablewireless networks and shoew Link/Quality/Signal strength
