With the DWA-552, you can add or upgrade your Desktop PC’s wireless connectivity without having to purchase a new computer. Once connected, access your network’s high-speed Internet connection while sharing photos, files, music, video, printers, and storage. Get a better Internet experience with a faster wireless connection so you can enjoy digital phone calls, gaming, downloading, and video streaming. Powered by Xtreme N™ technology, the DWA-552 provides a faster wireless connection and superior reception than 802.11g*. The DWA-552 is designed for use in bigger homes and for those that demand higher networking. Maximize wireless performance by connecting this desktop adapter to a Xtreme N ™ Router and stay connected from virtually anywhere in the home. This adapter supports WPA and WPA2 encryption to prevent outside intrusion and protect your personal information from being exposed. The D-Link Xtreme N™ DWA-552 is a powerful 32-bit desktop adapter that installs quickly and easily into desktop computers. Like all D-Link wireless adapters, the DWA-552 can be used in ad-hoc mode to connect directly with other cards for peer-to-peer file sharing or in infrastructure mode to connect with a wireless access point or router for access to the Internet in your office or home network. The DWA-552 features robust security to help protect the wireless network from intruders, complying with the latest wireless networking security protocols, including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) support. The DWA-552 also includes a configuration utility to discover available wireless networks and create and save detailed connectivity profiles for those networks most often accessed. • Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 80.11g and draft 80.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. 5D-Link DWA-55 User Manual Section 1 - Product Overview • Faster Wireless Net…

D-Link DWA-55 User Manual Section  - Wireless Security Wireless Security This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DWA-552 offers the following types of security: • WPA/WPA2-Personal • WPA/WPA2-Enterprise • 802.1x (RADIUS) What is WPA ™ ? WPA, or Wi-Fi ® Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The 2 major improvements over WEP: • Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP. • User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA/WPA2-Personal uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-num…
