EZ Connect™g 802.11g 108G Wireless Cardbus Adapter
www.smc.com
The SMC 802.11g 108G Wireless Cardbus Adapter (SMCW-
CBT-G) enables you to connect to 802.11g or 802.11b wireless
networks at home, at the office or at public hotspots.
The SMCWCBT-G provides the speed, coverage, and security
expected by today’s wireless users when they communicate,
download or upload large files, stream audio or video or use
other bandwidth-intensive applications. The SMCWCBT-G is
based on an advanced Atheros SuperG chipset that is com-
pliant with the IEEE 802.11g standard and certified by the
WiFi Alliance. This 108G Wireless Cardbus Adapter when
used in its turbo mode with a compatible 108G router or
access point, is 15 times faster than older 802.11b wireless
networking devices and yet is 100% backwards compatible
with them.
The SMCWCBT-G significantly increases the performance
of mixed-mode (802.11b and 802.11g) networks and in
802.11g-only networks – provides up to 3x more throughput
and up to 50% throughput.
The SMCWCBT-G Wireless Cardbus Adapter includes an EZ
Installation Wizard for quick and easy setup. Simply put
the EZ Installation Wizard CD into your laptop PC’s CD-
ROM drive, click on Install Driver/Utility Link, and the wiz-
ard will perform the installation automatically. Then plug in
your SMCWCBT-G into the PCMCIA slot of your laptop and
you are ready to enjoy the freedom of wireless networking.
The SMCWCBT-G adapter also provides a high level of
security by supporting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption
and newer WiFi Protected Access (WPA). The SMCWCBT-G’S
WLAN utility scans for all available wireless networks and its
profile management allows you to save names and settings
of multiple networks, so connecting becomes instantaneous.
To expand your wireless network and take advantage of
the 108G speeds, purchase the SMCWBR14T-G 108G
Wireless Router, the SMCWPCIT-G 108G PCI Adapter for
your desktop computers, and the SMCWUSBT-G 108G
USB 2.0 Adapter. Go online or visit your SMC dealer today.
