A WLAN is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals
instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments,
and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to
utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven
to be beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless
adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as
Ethernet adapter cards.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility
-
Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location
within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time
information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs
–
WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and
relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation.
WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation and Network Expansion
-
Installing a WLAN system can be fast and
easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless
technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or
office.

With the DWL-G810 you can provide instant wireless access to the LAN (Local Area
Network) for Ethernet-enabled devices. With an Ethernet (CAT5) cable simply connect
the DWL-G810 to the Ethernet port of a network device (such as a printer or web camera)
to establish a wireless connection with another device equipped with a wireless network
adapter set to Ad-Hoc mode.
