Chapter 1 Introduction
This Wireless LAN Card enables your computer to access the Internet, share resources, such
as files or printers without being bound to the network wires. This card is fully compatible
with IEEE 802.11 standards, which means it can interoperate with devices from other vendors
that also follow this standard.
The 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Card can transmit data up to 54 Mbps. The 802.11b/g products
are backward compatible with 802.11b devices. Since the 802.11b standard has been widely
adopted in many devices and hotspots, you will still be able to be connected wherever you go.

Wireless LAN Basics
This section contains some wireless network basics to help you better understand how the
product work together to create a wireless network.
Local Area Network (LAN)
Simply put, a LAN is a network that exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or
more computers connected together sharing files and peripheral devices such as printers.
The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run
cables normally associated with networks. This lets you move your computer around while
staying connected to your network.
There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or
more Wireless LAN Card equipped computers, forming an Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) wireless
network. The second way is to connect to an Access Point that gives you access to an existing
wired LAN, forming an Infrastructure wireless network.
