The Microsoft wireless notebook adapter makes it easy to add a notebook computer to your network. Share a broadband Internet connection by connecting to a router, share files and printers with other computers on your network, or play games with multiple players on the Internet. You can also connect to other wireless 802.11b/Wi-Fi networks when you're away from home for added productivity on the road. The wireless notebook adapter comes with an easy-to-use setup wizard, designed to make connecting your computers together easier. It has strong security features, including 128-bit wireless WEP security, and support for 802.1x standards. The Microsoft broadband network utility makes it easy to monitor your network status.
Included with the wireless network adapter are an adjustable antenna and attached cable and setup CD-ROM, as well as a startup guide and a user's guide.
System requirements include: a wireless router (sold separately) or other 802.11b/Wi-Fi device or network, as well as a computer running Windows 98, 98 SE, Me, 2000 Professional, XP Professional, or XP Home editions; Internet Explorer 5.0 or later (setup will install Internet Explorer 6.0 browser components, if necessary, but will not displace your primary browser); 28 MB of available hard disk space if you already have Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 (132 MB of available hard disk space if you are installing Internet Explorer for the first time); a 4x or faster CD-ROM drive; and a VGA or higher-resolution monitor.
