Thank you for purchasing this high-speed wireless network card! Excepting common wireless
standards 802.11b/g, this wireless network card is also able to access 802.11n wireless networks -
data transfer rate is 300Mbps, and that
‟s 12 times faster than 802.11g wireless network!
For WLAN security issues, this adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature
technology. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data
