Buffalo Technology WLI2PCIG54 54Mbps Wireless Desktop Pci Adapter With AOSS

Amazon.com Product Description
Buffalo's AirStation WLI2-PCI-G54 offers a fast and flexible wireless solution for your desktop PC, as well as Buffalo's exclusive AirStation One-Touch Secure System (AOSS) techonology. This high-performance networking device can accommodate desktops with either a full size or low profile PCI slot. It's compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices. Security features include WPA (TKIP and AES), 64/128-bit WEP and 802.1x support. The detachable antenna can be replaced with an optional external AirStation 2.4GHz antenna allowing flexible placement and extended range.

What Is AOSS? Setting up a secure wireless network can be too complicated, involving many tedious steps and requiring a certain level of expertise to complete. BuffaloÕs AirStation OneTouch Secure System (AOSS) allows you to create a hi-speed secure wireless connection with a push of a button and a click of the mouse. AOSS automatically detects and configures other AOSS enabled wireless devices and clients and seamlessly creates secure connections. As you add additional devices, security is negotiated at the highest level possible for all devices on the network. Say, for example, that you have one AOSS client that supports both WEP and WPA level encryption, while another client that supports only WEP. The AirStation automatically adjusts the security level to one that both clients will support.

What's in the Box
This package contains the AirStation 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Card, low-profile bracket, antenna exchange adapter, CD-ROM with drivers, and printed Quick Setup Guide. It's backed by 24/7 toll-free tech support and a 2-year warranty.

Tech Talk

AES: The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the U.S. government's next-generation cryptography algorithm, phasing out the older DES format.
TKIP: The next generation of WEP, the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP, pronounced tee-kip) provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism to secure 802.11 wireless LANs.
WEP: A data encryption method used to protect transmission between 802.11 clients and access points, the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard is now considered insufficient, with WPA encryption a more secure choice.
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) improves the security of 802.11 networks, using 802.1x and EAP to restrict network access and its own encryption (TKIP) to secure data during transmission.

best and cheapest works with mac!!!.......2007-02-17

best and cheapest works with mac!!! macs see it as an airport card. no new drivers to load. has a broadcom chipset like the airports have. macintosh pci wireless

Great product but AOSS is questionable.......2005-09-19

Everything works great except AOSS. AOSS does not seem to work as it claims on both my Windows XP (Sony Vaio) and Windows Me (Dell Dimension). WEP works fine. If AOSS works I would give 5 stars.
