Introduction
Being five times faster than the speed of 802.11b network standard devices, the innovative
802.11g standard lets the wireless network become incredibly easier and faster (up to
54Mbps) than ever. Your Wireless-G USB 2.0 Flex Adaptor surely will bring you into such a
high-speed network sphere. This document describes how to install your Wireless-G USB 2.0
Flex Adaptor, which aims to let your computer communicate with 802.11 networks quickly and
seamlessly. Wireless LAN is local area networking without wires, which uses radio frequencies
to transmit and receive data between PCs or other network devices. Additionally, wireless LAN
is able to configure either independent networks, which is also known as peer-to-peer or ad-
hoc network, or infrastructure networks. The former is suitable for small or temporary peer-to-
peer configurations, and the later is offering fully distributed data connectivity via micro cells
and roaming.
To obtain most benefits your Wireless-G USB 2.0 Flex Adaptor pro-
