Introduction

1.1

Welcome

PCI Adapter connects you with IEEE802.11n networks at receiving rate up to an incredible 300Mbps!

By using the reflection signal, 802.11n technology increases the range and reduces "dead spots

in the

wireless coverage area.

Unlike ordinary wireless networking of 802.11b/g standards that are confused by wireless reflections,

802.11n can actually use these reflections to increase four times transmission range of 802.11g
products.

Besides, when both ends of the wireless link are 802.11n products, The PCI can utilize twice radio
band to increase three times transmission speed of ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can comply
with backwards 802.11b/802.11g standards.

Soft AP supported by PCI Adapter can help you establish wireless LAN networking with lowest cost.

Besides, WPS (PBC and PIN) encryption method can free you from remembering the long passwords.

Complete WMM function makes your voice and video more smooth.
