D-Link® AirPremier® line of networking products combine powerful business class features with a high-performance hardware platform specifically designed for corporate environments. The AirPremier line of networking products now adds wireless client adapters to its lineup including the DWL-G680 High-Powered Wireless 108G Notebook Adapter.
Powered by D-Link 108G Technology, this High-Powered Notebook Adapter is capable of delivering a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* when used with other D-Link Wireless 108G devices. The DWL-G680 is also backward compatible with virtually all 802.11b/g networks and devices.

The high-powered output featured on the DWL-G680 offers extended wireless signal reception while adhering to industry standards. Higher output power allows this client device to receive and maintain strong signals from wireless routers and access points at further distances – this translates into more useable, real-world throughput from virtually anywhere in your wireless network.

The new business-class wireless LAN utility included with this device is capable of storing multiple SSIDs per profile. What this means to the notebook user is a hassle-free and automatic process when transitioning between or changing networks. Each time a user enters an area under a different SSID, the notebook adapter will automatically connect to the respective SSID to ensure a positive roaming experience. IT managers will also appreciate the Silent Installation feature of the DWL-G680. With this feature, the drivers can be configured to automatically install on the backend reducing the time needed to process and configure wireless network settings.

For accessing secure networks, this Wireless Notebook Adapter supports both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2. Now you can utilize EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP for secure user authentication through an 802.1x RADIUS server. Data traversing the wireless network is encrypted using either TKIP or AES.

The DWL-G680 High-Powered Wireless 108G Notebook Adapter can be used in peer-to-peer mode (ad-hoc) to directly connect to other 802.11b/g wirelessly enabled computers for direct file sharing, or in client mode (infrastructure) to connect with wireless access points or routers.

In addition to Wi-Fi certification for 802.11b and 802.11g, the DWL-G680 is also certified by Microsoft's WHQL, to ensure compatibly with Microsoft Windows® XP and 2000. These certifications ensure both wireless compatibility, robust data encryption, and reliable performance.

A perfect complement for your AirPremier wireless network, this High-Powered Wireless 108G Notebook Adapter is a convenient solution for providing superior wireless connectivity for your notebook PC.
