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).
