AirStation IEEE 802.11 Channels Sets

The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the wireless communication. Communications at a lower Transmit range may travel longer distances.

NOTE:

The range values listed in Table “Radio Characteristics” on page A-3 are typical distances as measured at the Buffalo Technology AirStation laboratories. These values are provided for your guidance but may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location where the AirStation product

will be installed.

•The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the WLI-USB-L11G is placed near metal

surfaces and solid high-density materials.

• Range is also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal. Table “Radio Characteristics” on page A-3 lists the typical ranges when used indoors in “office environments” as described as follows:

•In Open Office environments, antennas can “see” each other, i.e. there are no physical obstructions between them.

•In Semi-open Office environments, work space is divided by shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop level.

•In Closed Office environments, work space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls.

This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may not be technically inclined or those who want a quick and hassle-free setup process.

Security is a prominent aspect of the WLI-USB-L11G. It supports various encryption methods, including Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2). This ensures that data transmitted over the wireless connection remains secure from unauthorized access, providing peace of mind to users who frequently connect to public or unsecured networks.

Another notable characteristic of the WLI-USB-L11G is its portability. The adapter is small and lightweight, making it an ideal companion for individuals who travel frequently or work remotely. Its simple plug-and-play design allows it to be easily connected to any USB port, instantly enabling wireless connectivity.

In summary, the Buffalo Technology WLI-USB-L11G is a versatile and user-friendly wireless USB adapter that merges speed, security, and convenience. With its robust compatibility, easy setup process through AOSS, and excellent security features, it caters well to a diverse range of users, from casual internet browser to the more demanding tech user. Its compact design further enhances its appeal, making it a practical choice for those seeking to enhance their wireless networking experience.
