ASUS SpaceLink WL-140 - network adapter

The ASUS Wireless USB adapter combines the convenience of USB plug and play installation with the benefits of 11 Mbps wireless operation in a full-featured solution for the networked SOHO environment. Its 6 dBi High Gain Antenna provides more power and longer range for your wireless network. The WL-140, designed with a 6 dBi indoor omni-directional High Gain Antenna provides more coverage than standard PC Cards. The Range Extender comes standard with a 1.8-meter USB cable, which gives you more flexibility in where you choose to mount your antenna. Furthermore, the WL-140 can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and includes a wall mounting kit. It is fully compatible with other 802.11 b products and all ASUS SpaceLink products. The WL-140 allows end-users to spread their 802.11b network over a longer distance. Greater signal strength provides maximum wireless network speed with a longer reach. It also provides a better range for hidden computers. Because desktop computers are often hidden underneath desks or in enclosed computer rooms, onboard adapter cards are usually shielded from radio signals. The WL-140's Range Extender can be placed further from the computer to get around this problem.
