Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1.The WM01GT Wireless Notebook Adapter
The Gigabyte WM01GT Wireless Notebook Adapter with SmartSetup 3 installs quickly,
delivering a 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the
commonly deployed 11Mbps (802.11b) hotspots typically found. The WM01GT is fully
802.11b interoperable, meaning it connects seamlessly to both 11b and 11g wireless
traffic, and with its dynamic speed adjustment feature, it will always connect at the highest
possible speed – up to 108Mbps.
The Gigabyte WM01GT Wireless G Notebook Adapter makes connecting to a wireless
router or access point a cinch with its included wireless client utility - GNConfig. It
automatically detects and lists all available wireless networks, and provides powerful
real-time status of your connection.
