Complying with the IEEE 802.11g standard, the WL-U356M provides simple, reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity for both desktop and laptop users. By combining two technologies---USB 2.0 and 802.11g---the gadget delivers data at speed up to 54Mbps, five times the speed of existing 802.11b devices, and spares the effort of opening up the case of your desktop computer.

For WLAN security issues, the WL-U356M supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore, this card supports WPA2 function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.

The power consumption of the WL-U356M is also very low. It provides power saving mode allow user select this way to save the power from his/her portable or handheld devices.
