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
