1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.1 Welcome!
Thank you for choosing the ASUS WiFi-g™ wireless solution!
The WiFi-g™ is an easy-to-use wireless local area network (WLAN)
adapter designed for home or office use. Conforming to IEEE 802.11g
standard for WLAN, the ASUS WiFi-g™ is capable of up to 54 Mbps data
transmission rate using the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
and the Octogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing technologies. The
WiFi-g™ is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.11b standard
allowing seamless integration of both wireless LAN standards in a single
network.
The WiFi-g™ also supports several wireless network configuration
including Infrastructure, Ad-hoc, Soft Access Point, and Wireless Bridge
(Wireless Distribution System) giving you flexibility to your existing or
future wireless network configurations.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, WiFi-g™
employs both 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) encryptions.
With these and many more, ASUS WiFi-g™ is sure to keep you ahead in
the world of wireless computing.
1.2 Features

54Mbps speed advantage
With data transmission rate up to five times faster than IEEE 802.11b
standards, the WiFi-g™ breaks the wireless data transmission speed
barrier to give you faster Internet connection and file sharing capabilities.
Easy integration
The WiFi-g™ is compatible with all IEEE 802.11b devices so you can still
