Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Wireless 802.11g PCI network card. This
network card will allow you to connect to routers, access points, and other devices that
comply with the 802.11g wireless standard at blistering speeds of up to 54 Mbps. This
card is also backward compatible with the 802.11b standard and supports security
protocols such as 64 and 128-bit WEP, WPA, AES, and IEEE 802.1x.
Features
• High speed wireless data transfer rates: up to 54 Mbps (802.11g) or 11 Mbps (802.11b)
• Supports automatic transfer speed fallback so that connections are always as fast and
stable as possible
• Advanced security features, including support for 64 and 128-bit WEP encryption,
WPA (TKIP with IEEE 802.1x), and AES
• The detachable antenna with cable allows for placement that achieves the best possible
reception
Before You Begin
To make the installation and setup of the network card as easy as possible, please review
this section carefully before attempting installation.
System Requirements
• An IBM compatible computer running Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP
• An available PCI expansion slot
• CD-ROM or other compatible optical drive (for software installation)
WARNING!
PCI expansion cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged
by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching the network card. StarTech.com recommends the use of an
anti-static strap when installing when installing any computer equipment. If an anti-
static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity buildup by touching
a large, grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also, be
careful to handle the network card only by its edges, and not the gold connectors.
