| Imagine this:
two separate collectives with much in common but worlds apart.
There are no physical ties, no shared communication, and each wants
something that the other has. The resolution sounds like nothing
less than the merger of Ogakor and Kucha tribes into Barramundi, but
we're not talkin' reality TV here. What we have here is a
failure to communicate, two computers seeking to share files and
resources, a chasm that can be bridged without cables and wires.
D-Link
has done it again with its elegant, easy-to-install DWL-920 11Mbps USB
Wireless Home Network Kit. The DWL-920 is a Digital Home Solution that
makes networking more accessible than ever before by providing the
easiest way of connecting PC’s or latptops together without having to run wires
from machine to machine. This wireless network kit allows home users the
opportunity to share files, digital photos and other media files as
well as printers, scanners and other peripherals.
The
D-Link DWL-920 USB Wireless Kit is a high performance 11Mb standard
compliant wireless network in a box and comes with everything needed
to connect two PC’s together into a Local Area Network combined with
the ease of use of the USB interface.
The
DWL-920 includes two DWL-120 USB Wireless adapters and one DWL-1000AP
Access Point. The operating range of this baby is an astounding
100 meters indoors and 300 meters outside!
The
DWL-920 USB Wireless Kit strictly adheres to the IEEE 802.11b wireless
networking standard for maximum interoperability and proves to be faster
than other, older proprietary wireless networks. You won't even
need to remove the covers from your PCs, just connect the DWL-1000AP
Access Point to your Cable or DSL modem
and plug the DWL-120
USB Wireless adapters into your CPUs; the diagram below illustrates the
beauty and elegance of this system:
Installation is a snap;
everything is very
straightforward and easy to control, with documentation available at the click of a
button. Compatible
with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and NT 4.0, the
DWL-120 has an MSRP
of $599
but we've seen it as low as $450--a real steal for the quality and
flexibility of this very fine wireless networking solution.
The
DWL-120 USB Wireless Network Adapters operate in 2.4 Ghz Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and are designed with the ability to operate in
3.3V or 5.0V DC. In addition, the DWL-120 adapters use a 40-bit WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption for a secure network connection.
The DWL-920 11Mbps USB Wireless Kit
comes with lifetime warranty and absolutely FREE Technical Support
including software updates.
D-Link
reaffirms their well-deserved survivor status by delivering the goods
with the very impressive DWL-920
USB Wireless Kit. They accepted the challenge and won. The
tribe has spoken.
