The D-Link DWL-500 is a high-speed 11 Mbps Ethernet wireless network adapter that plugs into your PC's PCI bus slot. Once connected with other networked PC's, it allows you to share hard disk drives, DVD drives, CD drives, Iomega Zip drives, printers and provides shared access to a modem for Internet access. It strictly adheres to the most advanced IEEE networking standard for wireless connections, so the D-Link DWL-500 is very compatible with multi-vendor environments that also meet the standard compliance for the IEEE 802.11b. The DWL-500 bandwidth data transmission rate can be set manually at 11Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 1Mbps or it can be set on dynamic auto-sensing configuration. The D-Link DWL-500 can operate in either ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer networking without access point) or Infrastructure mode (peer-to-peer networking using an access point). In Infrastructure mode, the DWL-500 can be connected to a broadband residential gateway or an xDSL/cable modem for high-speed wireless Internet access on the existing network. The DWL-500 can transmit data at 11, 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps per channel. The DWL-500 transmit rate values can be manually selected for Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, fixed 1 Mbps, fixed 11 Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps and Fully Auto. The DWL-500 has full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell as well as across access points. The range of coverage per cell for indoor use is up to 100 meters and up to 300 meters per cell for outdoor use. The DWL-500 comes with an internal non-detachable diversity patch antenna and one built-in green LED indicator for power, network link and activity.
