What Is Wireless USB & What Are the Types of It? - Kikebetico - 09-30-2024
Wireless USB is a wireless communication protocol based on USB technology, designed to transmit USB data through wireless signals, replacing the traditional wired USB connection.
It allows high-speed data transfer between devices. With the combination of Wireless USB transmitters and receivers , USB devices such as printers, external hard drives, etc., can be connected to host devices such as computers without a physical USB cable.
Key features of wireless USB:
Transfer rate: Wireless USB typically provides speeds similar to USB 2.0 (about 480Mbps) over short distances.
Connection distance: The transmission distance of wireless USB is generally 3 to 10 meters, which is suitable for data transmission between close devices.
Operating band: Wireless USB usually operates in the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz band range.
To set up a wireless USB device through the following steps:
Verify that your wireless USB device requires drivers or dedicated software. Some devices may come with an installation CD or provide a download link.

Plug in your wireless USB adapter: Plug the wireless USB adapter into the USB port on your computer. Wait a few seconds and the system will usually automatically identify the device and try to install the base driver. If the device comes with a pairing button, follow the instructions.
Connect to wireless devices: Turn on the wireless USB device and ensure it is within the receiving range of the adapter. If it is a wireless mouse, keyboard, or other device, usually the device will automatically pair with the adapter.
Check the device connection: Check the status of your wireless USB device in your computer’s Device Manager. If it is displayed that the device is running properly, the connection is successful.
Custom Settings: Some wireless USB devices allow users to customize Settings, such as keyboard shortcuts, mouse sensitivity, etc., through installed software. You can set it as needed.
