WL-166N11 Hardware & Driver Reference 3
INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
The primary purpose of this documentation is to describe the WL-
166N11 product specications, features, and requirements. The
WL-166N11 is an IEEE802.11 b/g/n USB dongle. It allows you to
easily upgrade your PC-Platform or Laptop to 802.11n Draft 3.0. It
provides an access speed of 150Mbps with IEEE802.11n Draft3.0
protocol. It is also ofcially recommended by Xlink Kai, which is
a software that allows PSP or Nintendo DS users to play online
games all over the world. WL-166N11 can easily setup a wireless
LAN through its integrated WPS button (requires a router with the
same WPS button). In addition, The WL-166N11 also provides
software WPS functionality that allows you to make connections
through its budled utility. Even a rst time wireless LAN user can
easily setup the WL-166N11.
