The data rate can be up to 54 Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps (IEEE 802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps (IEEE802.11b). With UB54G, you can roam between conference room and office without being disconnected the LAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can be easy tasks. The UB54G is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode (computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, an Access Point is required). Wireless 11g USB Adapter UB54G User’s Guide >>> 1.2 How UB54G Works Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections. Therefore, some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared Gateway or Access Point. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN devices that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range. UB54G UB54G Wireless 11g USB Adapter Wireless 11g USB Adapter Wireless 11g USB Adapter UB54G User’s Guide Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In network environment, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Moreover, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.
