Introduction
Accton’s Cheetah Wireless-3501C USB Adapter (WN3501C) is an 11 Mbps wireless
network adapter that seamlessly integrates with existing Ethernet networks to support
applications such as mobile users or temporary conferences. The adapter is fully
compliant with 2.4 GHz DSSS CSMA/CA wireless networking as defined in IEEE
802.11b.
This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over
wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Just plug
wireless adapters into your desktop PCs and start networking.
Using this adapter in conjunction with an Accton Cheetah Wireless Access Point or
Wireless Access Point/Bridge, you can create an instant network that integrates
seamlessly with 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. Moreover, moving or expanding your network is
