Wireless 2.4GHz (802.11b) PCI Adapter

D-Link, the industry leader in wireless networking, introduces the new and improved DWL-520, part of the D-LinkAir family of award winning wireless products. The DWL-520 is a 32-bit Wireless PCI Adapter capable of transfer data with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 11Mbps^*, giving you the ability to connect a desktop computer to a wireless network at home or at the office.

The DWL-520 is Wi-Fi compatible, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11b compatible wireless routers, access points, and adapters. With its quick and easy installation along with driver support for Windows XP, 2000, Me and 98SE; the DWL-520 ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of seconds. Also, the DWL-520 utilizes a standard PCI 2.2 interface to ensure a wide range of motherboard compatibility.

Using its default settings, the DWL-520 automatically connects to other D-LinkAir products as soon as its active. The DWL-520 also features up to 128-bit WEP encryption to provide a level of security for information that you wirelessly transmit.

^{*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.}
