Wireless USB Adapter
Fast and Easy 11 Mbps Wireless Connectivity
NETGEAR has designed this Wireless USB Adapter to give you fast, reliable Internet access.
There's no need to open up your PC, or install expensive Ethernet cables to connect wirelessly.
The MA111 effortlessly connects your desktop PC at home, or even your notebook PC at a
hotspot over any 802.11b network. With its automatic rate fallback, the MA111 lets you move
to extended distances without losing your connectivity. Attractively styled, this compact device
simply plugs into an external USB port on your desktop or notebook PC. High-level WEP
encryption gives you secure data communication and shields your network from wireless
eavesdroppers – at no sacrifice to performance. With NETGEAR, Everybody's connecting, and
with the MA111, they can connect everywhere.
Wireless connectivity at 11 Mbps that's powered by USB 1.1 means there's no need to open the
cover of your PC and no need to buy or install Ethernet cabling. The included 5 ft cable allows you
to position the adapter for peak signal strength to your desktop.
Automatic rate fallback adjusts to greater distances. Hardware-based 40/64 and 128-bit WEP
encryption protects your privacy. Pre-configured to work with other NETGEAR wireless
products, this USB adapter works with Windows® 98, ME, 2000, and XP.
In addition to seamless signal strength and dependable operability, NETGEAR provides a 3 year
warranty. Now you can enjoy fast wireless access without unexpected interruptions.
