Key Features
802.11g Wireless LAN USB Adapter
The DWL-G122 is a high-performance 802.11g wireless LAN USB adapter that connects your computer to a high-speed
wireless LAN. This adapter simply plugs to your computer through a fast USB 2.0 interface to provide up to 54Mbps wireless
speed. With industry standard interoperability, backward compatibility with 802.11b devices and plug-and-play installation,
this adapter is an ideal solution for notebook and laptop PC users needing fast and standard mobile network connection.
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS
Up to 54Mbps Transmission Speed
Compatible With 802.11b
Easy Migration to Higher Bandwidth
Network Security
The DWL-G122 provides speeds of up to 54Mbps when
used with other 802.11g wireless devices. This compares
favorably with 802.11b adapters that offer only 11Mbps
transmission.
Like the 802.11b devices, the DWL-G122 uses a single
2.4GHz wireless frequency, eliminating the complexity of
dualband networking. 802.11g's compatibility with existing
wireless LAN standards means that you do not need to
change your entire network to maintain connectivity.
By maintaining compatibility with your existing wireless
network equipment, this adapter lets you upgrade to a
higher speed at the pace you want. The DWL-G122 and
other 802.11g standard devices can be gradually added to
your network, while the rest of your older network remains
perfectly connected.
TM
The DWL-G122 supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
to provide the necessary security protocols and tools, so
you can communicate with other wireless users
confidentially, access sensitive information or send data that
is dynamically encrypted as it's sent. WPA allows
authorization and identification of users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at a regular interval. Used in
conjunction with a RADIUS server, WPA uses TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal
key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater
security than the standard WEP security, which requires the
keys to be changed manually.
The DWL-G122 is equipped with a fast USB 2.0 port and a
USB cable that connects to your computer, providing data
throughput at up to 480Mbps between the network adapter
and the host computer. That is about 40 times faster than the
earlier USB 1.1 specification, allowing you to take
advantage of the high 54Mbps wireless speed that this
adapter provides.
With USB hot swap and plug-and-play capabilities, the
DWL-G122 provides you with fast and easy connectivity to
wireless devices and users, no matter if they use the
802.11b or the fast 802.11g standard.
