Chapter 1: Introduction

WNL-U554 wireless USB adapter adapts IEEE 802.11n technology compatible with IEEE

802.11b and IEEE 802.11g, offering a reliable and cost effective solution. With the interface of

USB 2.0 that integrates one transmit channel and one concurrent receive channel, the speed

could be up to 150Mbps upload and download data rate for extending wireless coverage

range.

The WNL-U554 provides advanced security, not only 64/128-Bits WEP, but also WPA, WPA2

and LEAP encryption. Moreover, in order to simplify the security configurations, WPS (Wi-Fi

Protected Setup) offers a convenient and fast method for users as well. Besides, QoS-WMM

maintains the high priority transition quality for such multimedia packets.

WNL-U554 supports Windows base systems, included 2000, XP and Vista. With high speed

capability, users get higher wireless transmission in anytime, anywhere.
