Simple Home Network Diagram 
Your Wireless PCI Adapter allows you to access files, printers, and an Internet connection 
on your network. A sample Local Area Network (LAN) is shown below: 
 
In the example above, the Internet communicates with the modem which communicates 
with the router. The router acts as the gateway to your network, sending information to 
whichever device asks for information. The PCI adapter card enables your desktop 
computer to be part of the wireless network. 
Wireless Connections 
Your Wireless PCI Adapter uses a radio transmission technology defined by the Institute of 
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) called 802.11 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). This 
standard is subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency spectrum used, 
designated by the lower case letter after the standard.  
For example, your PCI adapter card can work with both the ‘b’ and ‘g’ specifications. The 
802.11b specification transmits data rates up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification 
transmits data rates up to 54 Mbps. Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz range. These 
are theoretical speeds so your performance may vary. 
A Word About Data Rates: Data rate is the speed at which individual bits of data flow through a channel. It is 
not the same speed at which entire files are uploaded or downloaded. These speeds will vary, and are often 
less than the maximum data rate. Upload and download speeds are affected by several factors including, but 
not limited to: the capacity of and the services offered by your cable operator or broadband service provider, 
channel capacity, network traffic, computer equipment, type of server, number of connections to server, and 
availability of Internet router(s).
