The Buffalo Technology WLI-USB-L11G is a wireless USB adapter designed to extend the connectivity of desktop and laptop computers, allowing users to connect to Wi-Fi networks easily. With its compact design, it is a convenient solution for enhancing network access without the need for complicated installations or bulky equipment.
