Introduction - D-Link DWL-G122 Manual

Introduction

The D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless USB Adapter is a convenient Plug
& Play USB 2.0 solution that brings wireless networking to your laptop or desktop PC.
With transfer rates up to 54Mbps you can connect to a wireless network at
home, at the office or at any wireless hotspot. Now you can stay connected
wherever you are and wherever you go.
The DWL-G122 is Wi-Fi compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate
with other 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access points
and adapters. The DWL-G122 connects to any available USB port on a laptop
or desktop Windows -based computer and also includes a USB cradle. With
the optional USB cradle, the DWL-G122 can be positioned virtually anywhere
at a workstation to achieve the best available wireless signal reception - whether
that workstation is in your office, on your deck or patio, by the pool, at the local
coffee shop, or in an airport terminal while waiting to board your next flight.
The adapter works with Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000 and other
Windows operating systems to ensure that you'll be up and running on a wireless
network in just a matter of seconds.
Using its default settings, the DWL-G122 automatically connects to other
D-Link Air or AirPlus wireless products as soon as it's active.
In addition to featuring 64- or 128-bit WEP encryption, the DWL-G122 offers
the added security of WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) when used with other
WPA devices in a network with a RADIUS server.
For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the
security for the DWL-G122, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible
802.11 products, will still be much stronger than ever before when you use the
Pre- Shared Key mode of WPA.
