Introduction The D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G120 802.11g (2.4GHz) Wireless USB Adapter is a convenient Plug & Play USB 2.0 solution that brings wireless networking to your laptop or desktop PC. It provides up to a 128-bit level of WEP security to your wireless data transfers. Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G120 provides data transfers at up to 54 Mbps when used with other D-Link AirPlus G products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. The DWL-G120 comes with software drivers for the most popular Microsoft Windows operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network, running Windows XP/2000/Me/98SE in either Ad-Hoc mode (without an access point or router) or Infrastructure mode (with an access point or router). The IEEE 802.11g Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and 802.11g compatible devices at speeds up to 54Mbps*, dependent upon the distance between wireless adapters, the configuration of your working environment, or the capabilities or limitations of your computer systems. * This is the theoretical maximum of the chipset used in the DWL-G120 Wireless USB Adapter. Actual through-put may vary. 4
