Introduction

The D-Link Air DWL-120 2.4GHz Wireless USB Adapter is an ideal way to
extend the reach and number of computers connected to your wireless network.
After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide (included in
your package) you will have the ability to share information and resources,
such as files and printers, and take full advantage of a "connected" environment
for work or play!
This DWL-120 comes with software drivers for the most popular Microsoft
Windows operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network, running
Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows 98SE in either Ad
Hoc mode (without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (with an Access
Point.) The IEEE 802.11b standards compliance means this adapter gives
you the flexibility to connect it to any 802.11b network. The IEEE 802.11b
Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and devices at speeds up
to 11Mbps, dependent upon the distance between wireless adapters, the
configuration of your working environment, or the capabilities or limitations of
your computer systems.
This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its
application as it relates to networking. Take a moment to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with wireless technology. You should also give
yourself some time to become familiar with your new wireless network.
