1. Introduction
Complying with the IEEE 802.11g standard, WL-U357v2 provides simple, reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity for both desktop and laptop users. By combining two, state-of-the-art technologies - USB 2.0 and Super G - WL-U357v2 provides up to 108Mbps data rate in 2.4GHz unlicensed ISM band. Thus makes WL-U357v2 more suitable for multimedia applications which required more bandwidth
Support of 64, 128 and 152-bit WEP encryption plus WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) high-level encryption prevents your wireless communications from unauthorized access and ensures secure data transfer. The WL-U357v2 is also backward compatible with 802.11b Access Points. Easy installation and Hot-plugging offers full mobility and high availability, making the device a perfect choice for users who are getting tired of running cables or in constant need of wireless access.

1.2Application
Infrastructure
The major difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc wireless network is that the former requires an Access point. For old buildings, open areas, or frequently changing environments, just install the WL-U357v2 on your desktop or laptop, and thus you can get connected to the wired Ethernet through a wireless Access Point. SOHO users can then access the Internet and share all kinds of data with the other wired or wireless clients within the coverage of
