Chapter 1: Introduction
Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network
at incredible speeds with the Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter.
By incorporating two new, blazing fast technologies -- USB 2.0 and Wireless-
G -- the Adapter delivers data rates up to 54Mbps (5 times as fast as 802.11b),
without the trouble of opening up the case of your desktop computer.
To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible
with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It
gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. The
included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your
wireless network settings, step by step. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter
is also compatible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard, with data
rates up to 11Mbps. And your wireless communications can be protected by
128-bit encryption, so your data stays secure.
The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter's high-gain antenna lets you put your
computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running
cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through
the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you
can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging
to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and
hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.
So don't hassle with running cables through your house -- get connected the
easy way with the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter.
