Description
The D-Link AirPlus G™ DWL-G120 USB Adapter is a wireless USB 2.0 adapter featuring the very latest in advanced wireless silicon chip technology to deliver incredibly fast data transfer in the 2.4GHz frequency.
D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces another performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity — the
D-Link AirPlus G™ series of high-speed devices capable of maximum wireless signal rates up to 54Mbps*.
The D-Link AirPlus G™ DWL-G120 USB Adapter is a 802.11g wireless USB 2.0 adapter featuring the very latest in advanced wireless silicon chip technology to deliver incredibly fast data transfer in the 2.4GHz frequency. The DWL-G120 also works with 802.11b standard wireless devices and when used with other D-Link AirPlus G™ products delivers throughput speeds capable of handling heavy data payloads including MPEG video streaming.
The D-Link 802.11g AirPlus G™ DWL-G120 also includes a configuration utility to discover available wireless networks and create and save detailed connectivity profiles for those networks most often accessed.
The DWL-G120 is a powerful USB 2.0 adapter that installs quickly and easily into any desktop or laptop PCs with an available USB port. When used with other D-Link AirPlus G™ products DWL-G120 automatically connects to the network. Like all D-Link wireless adapters, the DWL-G120 can be used in Ad-Hoc mode to connect directly with other 802.11g or 802.11b wireless enable computers for peer-to-peer file sharing or in Infrastructure mode to connect with a wireless access point or router for access to the Internet in your office or home network.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g 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. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
