LevelOne 11g USB Adapter w/LCD WiFi Detector, WNC-0304USB user manual Introduction, Features

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing LevelOne 11g USB adapter with Wi-Fi Detector. This convenient device instantly detects wireless hotspots anywhere. The backlight LCD display tells the user detailed information about any detected hotspot. There’s no need to purchase any battery because there is a rechargeable Li-Polymer battery which recharges whenever the detector is inserted into any USB port.

This Wi-Fi detector also allows the user to go online wirelessly and is designed to comply with IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN standard. It is suitable for any laptop or desktop computer.

This detector supports 64/128/256-bit WEP data encryption that protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. This adapter has built-in AES engine which ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
