Overview

EW-7318USg complies with IEEE802.11g standards and is backward compatible with IEEE802.11b standards. With the connection speed up to 54Mbps (5 times faster then IEEE802.11b), EW-7318USg connects the laptop computer or desktop computer to the wireless network easily. You can also connect to any public wireless hotspot for Internet to retrieve e-mail, surf web sites or use instant messaging. EW-7318USg gives you the freedom to join the network.

Wireless LAN Security
For WLAN security issues, this adaptor supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore, this adaptor supports WPA2 function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.

Supports Turbo Mode
This adaptor supports higher data throughput than the IEEE 802.11g standard (up to 54Mbps). It supports specific ways to increase the data transfer rate at a time; compress the data and decrease the waiting time to send the next data to the Routers or APs. This feature is called Turbo Mode. When the adaptor is connecting to the Routers or APs with the proprietary feature, the wireless network will be more effective.

Supports multi-language EZmax setup wizard 
The included EZmax setup wizard with 16 languages and friendly UI will walk you through configuring EW-7318USg to your wireless network.

Detachable Antenna
The detachable antenna with extended cable let you relocate the antenna to receive the best signals. Also, you can change to any high gain aerial with RPSMA interface. EW-7318USg is your choice for wireless connection!
