IEEE 802.11b standards and can be adapted for wired environments for data storage.

Wireless LANs are complementary extensions to existing wired LANs, offering mobility while maintaining continuous network con- nectivity to both corporate and home Intranets. They add a new level of convenience for LAN users. PC users stay connected to the net- work anywhere throughout a building without being bound by LAN cables. This is accomplished through the Access Point functionality of the ASUS WL-HDD2.5. The device also has the additional advan- tage of providing network storage with its hard disk drive. This allows you to share information and storage capacity through the WLAN and use the hard disk like a public wireless folder. The large storage capacity of the hard disk and a high speed data transfer of 54 Mbps makes the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 a very useful tool to share music and video files. The ASUS WL-HDD2.5 also supports automatic copying of files from a flash memory disk to the hard disk.
