OVERVIEW
Wireless networking has become a popular way to connect
your PCs to other network devices such as hubs, routers,
switches, and access points. Advantages of wireless networking
include cost savings (since you don’t have to buy cable),
flexibility, and convenience. All that’s required to use wireless
networking is a wireless PC card and an antenna.
You don’t have to route cable through small spaces. Simply
plug the adapter into a PC’s USB port. Maintain a clear line-of-
sight from the PC to the network device that you want to access.
Several wireless networking standards exist, including 802.11,
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a. These four standards support
speeds of up to 2 (for 802.11), 11, (for 802.11b), and 54 Mbps
(for both 802.11g and 802.11a). Also, 802.11b and 802.11g
devices work in the 2.4-GHz band; the 802.11a standard uses
the 5.8-GHz band.
While the original 802.11 standard uses two methods of
data encoding (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum [FHSS]
and Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum [DSSS]), the newer
802.11b and 802.11g 2.4-GHz standards use DSSS only. The
802.11g standard also supports Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation.
Plus, 802.11g devices are compatible with 802.11b and
802.11 DSSS devices, so you don’t have to replace your existing
802.11b or 802.11 equipment.
Note, however, that 802.11g devices are not compatible
with 802.11 equipment using Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS).
The Pure Networking Wireless Mini USB Adapter installs
in your notebook, laptop, or desktop PC and uses wireless
technology to transfer data.
The adapter supports Windows OS plug-and-play
installation, works with Windows 98 SE/Me/XP and Windows
2000, and is USB hot swappable, allowing you to plug it in or
remove it without rebooting your computer.
High throughput maximizes multimedia data bandwidth and
64-/128-bit WEP data encryption for a high level of security. It
also supports peer-to-peer communication among wireless users
without using an access point. And the adapter even increases
data security and reliability via automatic fallback.
The adapter works in ad-hoc or infrastructure mode. In ad-
hoc mode, there’s a peer-to-peer connection between the PC
and the wireless device without using an access point. In
infrastructure mode, the network connects the wireless devices
together through an access point.
