Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing TP-LINK 54M Wireless Adapter TL-WN512AG/TL-WN552AG/TL-WN553AG.
1.1 Overview of the product
The TP-LINK 54M Wireless Adapter TL-WN512AG/TL-WN552AG/TL-WN553AG can provide
high performance of wireless connectivity, without the restrictions of phone lines or Ethernet
cables. With the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g standards, the
TL-WN512AG/TL-WN552AG/TL-WN553AG can connect with existing 802.11b, 802.11g- or
802.11a- compliant routers, access points and cards. That means you can still communicate with
colleagues and friends while you have the ability to link to even more wireless networks.
The adapter's auto-sensing capability allows high packet transfer rate of up to 54Mbps for
maximum throughput, or dynamic range shifting to lower speeds due to distance or operating
limitations in an environment with a lot of electromagnetic interference. Your wireless
communications are protected by up to 152-bit WEP and WPA encryption for high security.
It adopts 2x to 3x eXtended Range
TM
WLAN transmission technology so that transmission
distance is 2-3 times of traditional wireless adapter, up to a distance of 830m tested in China.
Transmission range is extended to 4-9 times.
