Introduction
The D-Link Air DWL-122 Wireless USB Adapter is a convenient Plug & Play
USB 1.1 solution that brings wireless networking to your laptop or desktop PC.
With transfer rates up to 11Mbps you can connect to a wireless network at
home, at the office or at any wireless hotspot. Now you can stay connected
wherever you are and wherever you go.
The DWL-122 is Wi-Fi compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate
with other 802.11b Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access points and
adapters. The DWL-122 connects to any available USB port on a laptop or
desktop Windows and Macintosh-based computer and also includes a standard
USB extension cable. With the optional USB extension cable, the DWL-122
can be positioned virtually anywhere at a workstation to achieve the best available
wireless signal reception - whether that workstation is in your office, on your
deck or patio, by the pool, at the local coffee shop, or in an airport terminal while
waiting to board your next flight.
The adapter works with Apple Mac OS X (10.2x or later) Jaguar, Microsoft
Windows XP, Windows 2000 and other Windows operating systems to ensure
that you’ll be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of seconds.
The DWL-122 also features 64 or 128-bit WEP encryption providing a level of
security for the data that you wirelessly transmit.
Using its default settings, the DWL-122 automatically connects to other D-Link
Wireless products as soon as it’s active.
