The 802.11g enabled device is an IEEE 802.11g based wireless LAN device. A LAN is composed of two or more 

computers that are connected to each other to share files or common equipment such as a printer or an Internet 

connection. A wireless LAN provides the same functionality of a wired network, but it eliminates the need to install 

networking cables and other networking equipment. Not only is a wireless LAN easier to deploy, but it also allows for 

roaming. 

An IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN includes the following features:

●

     

Support for IEEE 802.11g draft specification

●

     

Support for IEEE 802.11b standard

●

     

2.4-GHz band operation

●

     

Network data rate of up to 54 Mbit/s

●

     

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption

The 802.11g enabled device works with any Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® base station or wireless client adapter.
