The DWL-120 includes a standard USB cable and connects to any available USB port on a laptop or desktop Windows-based PC. With its USB cable (included) and the adapter's flip-up antenna, the DWL-120 can be positioned virtually anywhere in a workspace to achieve the best available wireless signal reception - whether that workspace 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's Microsoft WHQL-certified drivers for Windows XP ensure that you'll be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of seconds. The DWL-120 also features 128-bit WEP encryption providing a level of security for the data that you wirelessly transmit.

Using its default settings, the DWL-120 automatically connects to other D-LinkAirTM 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.
