Description
The DWL-122 is a USB 1.1 wireless adapter capable of transfer rates up to 11Mbps, giving you the ability to connect to a wireless network at home, at the office or at any wireless hotspot.
D-Link, the industry leader in wireless networking, introduces DWL-122, part of the D-Link
AirTM family of award-winning wireless products. The DWL-122 is a USB 1.1 wireless adapter capable of transfer data with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 11Mbps
*, giving you the ability to 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-122 is Wi-Fi compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11b Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access points and adapters. The DWL-122 connects to any available USB port on a laptop or desktop Windows and Macintosh-based computer and also includes a standard USB extension cable. With its USB extension cable (included) the DWL-122 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 Apple Mac OS X (10.2.X and 10.3.2), 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. The DWL-122 also features 64 or 128-bit WEP encryption providing a level of security for the data that you wirelessly transmit.
Using its default settings, the DWL-122 automatically connects to other D-Link wireless products as soon as it's active.
* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11b specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
