DWL-G520+EOL EOS

802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card

Description

Up to 54Mbps Transmission Speed
The DWL-G520+ provides speeds of up to 54Mbps when used with other D-Link AirPlusG+  and other 802.11g products. This compares favorably with 802.11b adapters that offer 11Mbps speed, and with 802.11b+ adapters that give 22Mbps transmission.

Real Throughput 10 Times Faster Than 802.11b
This enhanced speed and adoption of 2.4GHz frequency, now available for public use in most countries, plus the mobility and convenience inherent in a wireless LAN, make this card an ideal solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN applications.

Wireless Adapters
Apart from the higher theoretical network data transfer speed of 54Mbps for 802.11g against the 11Mbps for 802.11b, the DWL-G520+ also delivers a much faster data transmission than other wireless LAN adapters. In a typical working environment with multiple users accessing the network at the same time, the DWL-G520+ operates at 10 times the speed of a normal 802.11b wireless LAN adapter, which is made possible by means of a turbo engine driver supplied with this card.

Compatible With 802.11b and 802.1 1b+
Like the 802.11b and 802.11b+ adapters, the DWL-G520+ uses a single 2.4GHz wireless frequency, eliminating the  complexity of dualband networking. 802.11g's compatibility with existing wireless LAN standards means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity.

Easy Migration to Higher Bandwidth
By maintaining compatibility with your existing wireless network equipment, this adapter lets you upgrade to a higher speed at the pace you want. The DWL-G520+ and other 802.11g standard devices can  be gradually added to your network, while the rest of your older network remains perfectly connected.

Advanced Security
In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds, this card also provides the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today. For home users that do not incorporate a radius server in their  networks, security is provided in a convenient, automatic way (when used in conjunction with other 802.11g products). No longer will you have to frequently input a new WEP key to execute security operations. With the DWL-G520+, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, doing away with the inconvenience of manual WEP key input. The DWL-G520+ provides a stronger network security with 64, 128 and 256-bit WEP data encryption.
