Chapter1 Introduction to GW-US54HP

Introduction to GW-US54HP

Thank you for purchasing the IEEE 802.11g Wireless 5dBi High Gain

USB Adapter –GW-US54HP. GW-US54HP has an extra foundation which

is designed to make GW-US54HP get better signal when it is plugging

into the foundation and can be easily move around; therefore, not only

the connection distance is enhanced, but also the

dead spots

on the

network are reduced. In addition, GW-US54HP is backward compatible

with 802.11b. When GW-US54HP is connecting to the standard 802.11b

or 802.11g APs or routers, it can perform much better than other standard

stations.

GW-US54HP supports higher data throughput than the IEEE802.11g

standard (up to 54Mbps). It can compress the data and decrease the waiting

time of sending the data to the next routers or APs, so it increases the data

transmission rate. This function is called Turbo Mode. When GW-US54HP

WLAN adapter connect to the APs or routers by using this particular

function, your wireless network will be more effective.

For the security of WLAN, GW-US54HP supports 64/128-bit WEP data

encryption which protects your wireless network from eavesdropping.

It also supports WPA/WPA2 which combines IEEE802.1x and TKIP

technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to

APs or routers, and the data transmitted on the network is encrypted and

decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Besides, GW-US54HP

supports WPA2 function which provides a stronger encryption through

AES which is the most advanced WLAN solution for IEEE802.11i.

GW-US54HP is cost effective and with many versatile features. It must be

the best solution for you to build your wireless network.
