About the Product
WL230USB provides wireless connectivity to desktop and laptop computers. The device
performs the function of a radio broadcaster and receiver to communicate with a
wireless network. This gives the computer connected with WL230USB the capability to
communicate with other devices and use the Internet service available in the wireless
network.
WL230USB is capable of connecting with wireless networks that utilize the Wireless B and
Wireless G protocols. Wireless B broadcasts data at a speed of up to 11 Megabits per
second (Mbps) while Wireless G promises a speed of up to 54 Mbps. Bear in mind that
these speeds have nothing to do with the speed of your Internet connection. Nowadays,
most high-speed Internet connections provide 3 to 5 Mbps, which is lower than the
speed of the Wireless B protocol.
WL230USB is easy to setup - connect it to a USB port, install the necessary driver
software, and then connect to a wireless network. USB ports look physically the same but
there are generally two variants namely USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. Connect the device to a
USB 2.0 port because it provides twice the speed of a USB 1.1 port. In most cases
especially for desktop computers, USB 2.0 ports are placed behind the computer case.
Connecting WL230USB behind the computer case impedes signal strength because the
device is partly hidden. In situations like this, use the USB Extension to help place
WL230USB more prominently to the host access point.
