DWL-AG520 54Mbps PCI Bus 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter
D-Link AirXpert TM Wireless PCI Adapter Tri-mode Dualband
-32-bit PCI Performance/Plug & Play Connectivity
The DWL-AG520 is a powerful 32-bit PCI adapter that installs quickly and easily
into desktop PCs, and when used with other D-Link Air Xpert ABG products will
automatically connect to the network out of the box.
-Compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g Devices
Fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and Draft 802.11g standards, the
DWL-AG520
can connect with existing 802.11b routers, access points and cards. That means
you can still communicate with colleagues and friends while you have the ability
to link to even more wireless networks.
-Dualband versatility
With the DWL-AG520, you have the option of using one of two frequencies. If the
2.4GHz frequency band is experiencing interruptions and interference from
cordless phones, and microwave ovens, you have the option of using the 5GHz band
with 802.11a enabled devices.
-Better Security with 802.1x and WPA*
With the DWL-AG520 in your desktop PC you can securely connect to a wireless
network using 802.1x for wireless authentication, as well as WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) providing you a much higher level of security for your data
and communications than has previously been available. To use the DWL-AG520’s
802.1x security features, your Operating System and all the devices in your
network must support it. Windows XP supports 802.1x and a free 802.1x upgrade is
available for Windows 2000. Check the manufacturer’s website for available
802.1x upgrades for other operating system
