Product Description: D-Link® AirPremier® line of networking products combine powerful business class features with a high-performance hardware platform specifically designed for corporate environments. The AirPremier line of networking products now adds wireless client adapters to its lineup including the DWL-G550 High-Powered Wireless 108G Desktop Adapter. Powered by D-Link 108G Technology, this High-Powered Desktop Adapter is capable of delivering a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* when used with other D-Link Wireless 108G devices. The DWL-G550 is also backward compatible with virtually all 802.11b/g networks and devices. The high-powered output featured on the DWL-G550 offers extended wireless signal reception while adhering to industry standards. Higher output power allows this client device to receive and maintain strong signals from wireless routers and access points at further distances. The new business-class wireless LAN utility included with this device displays a management tool consistent with the Windows® User Interface guidelines. Key wireless information is displayed in an efficient manner while navigation through the utility is a straightforward and intuitive process. IT managers will also appreciate the Silent Installation feature of the DWL-G550. With this feature, the drivers can be configured to automatically install on the backend reducing the time needed to process and configure wireless network settings. For accessing secure networks, this Wireless Desktop Adapter supports both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2. Now you can utilize EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP for secure user authentication through an 802.1x RADIUS server. Data traversing the wireless network is encrypted using either TKIP or AES. The DWL-G550 High-Powered Wireless 108G Desktop Adapter can be used in peer-to-peer mode (ad-hoc) to directly connect to other 802.11b/g wirelessly enabled computers for direct file sharing, or in client mode (infrastructure) to connect with wireless access points or routers. In addition to Wi-Fi certification for 802.11b and 802.11g, the DWL-G550 is also certified by Microsofts WHQL, to ensure compatibly with Microsoft Windows® XP and 2000. These certifications ensure both wireless compatibility, robust data encryption, and reliable performance. A perfect complement for your AirPremier wireless network, this High-Powered Wireless 108G Desktop Adapter is a convenient solution for providing superior wireless connectivity for your desktop PC. * Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. Product Features: -
