INTRODUCTION

 

The

 802.11g Wireless LAN Card

 is a device that allows you connect your 

computer to a wireless local area network (LAN). A wireless LAN allows your 
system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive 
data without physically attaching to the network. The Wireless protocols that 
come with this product ensure data security and isolation from interference 
generated by other radio frequencies. 

This card also allows you to take full advantage of your computer’s mobility with 
access to real-time information and online services anytime and anywhere. In 
addition, this device eliminates the bother of pulling cable through walls and 
under furniture. It even allows you to place your system in locations where 
cabling is impossible. Modifying and augmenting networks has never been so 
easy. 

Wireless Network Options 

The Peer-to-Peer Network 

This network installation lets you set a small wireless workgroup easily and 
quickly.  Equipped with wireless PC Cards or wireless PCI, you can share files 
and printers between each PC and laptop.
