1  Introduction   

The Hawking Technologies Mini Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter is designed to be fully compliant with 

both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless networking standards.  The HWU54G uses the latest in 

wireless chip technology and is capable of transferring data wirelessly at speeds up to 54 Mbps!  In addition 

to being a high-speed wireless adapter, the Mini Wireless-G Adapter is the size of a finger.  This lets you 

take the Wireless-G adapter wherever you go so you’ll never have to worry about connecting again.  The 

combination of speed and size make this Wireless-G network adapter one of the best on the market.   

 

The Hi-Gain Wireless-G USB Network Adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your 

wireless network from outside intruders . Furthermore, it supports the latest in wireless security, WPA (Wi-Fi 

Protected Access), a feature that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) 

technologies. With the WPA feature, users are required to authenticate themselves before accessing APs or 

AP Routers.  The data transmitted within the network is encrypted/decrypted by a secret key  that is 

dynamically changed. 

 
Whether you are trying to connect to a local hotspot or surfing the web while you read a book in the 
park, the HWU54G gives the power and versatility to connect anywhere, anytime.
