WG217 Dual-Band WiFi Module | Reliable 802.11ac Connectivity for Smart Devices

2025-12-02/ By Admin

In the era of the Internet of Things, stable, high-speed, and reliable wireless connectivity is the lifeblood of smart devices. Whether you are developing smart AV equipment, industrial IoT terminals, or commercial hardware, choosing a high-performance, easy-to-integrate wireless module is crucial. The WG217 Dual-Band WiFi Module is a classic wireless solution designed for embedded devices and premium peripherals, serving as a solid cornerstone for your product's wireless capabilities.

Dual-Band Operation for High-Speed, Clean Networks

The WG217 module strictly adheres to the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard and is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n. Its core advantage lies in supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. The 2.4GHz band offers wide coverage and strong penetration, ensuring basic connection stability in various environments. The 5GHz band experiences less interference, provides cleaner channels, and delivers a high physical layer data rate of up to 433Mbps. This meets the demanding bandwidth requirements of scenarios such as HD video streaming, large file transfers, and low-latency online applications. The module's 1T1R smart antenna design automatically selects the optimal band, ensuring your device always operates on the best available network channel.

Extensive Compatibility for Seamless Integration Across Systems

We understand that hardware success depends on broad system support. The WG217 module offers a plug-and-play experience across platforms thanks to its excellent driver compatibility. It fully supports systems from classic Windows XP and Windows 7 to modern Linux kernels and Android, covering both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. This means whether for Linux-based smart home gateways, industrial control hosts, Android-powered smart TVs and commercial displays, or Windows industrial computers needing a wireless upgrade, the WG217 provides stable, out-of-the-box connectivity. This significantly reduces your development cycle and system adaptation costs.

Compact Design with Industrial-Grade Reliability

With its compact mini-size of 36.0mm x 15.0mm x 3.2mm, the WG217 can be easily integrated into space-constrained product designs, allowing greater freedom for product aesthetics. The module utilizes high-quality chips and components to ensure stability during prolonged, high-load operation. Furthermore, its support for USB LPM (Link Power Management) significantly reduces power consumption in standby mode, aligning with the energy-saving principles of modern product design.

Security and Compliance for Global Market Access

Network security and regulatory compliance are critical for product launch. The WG217 module features a built-in hardware encryption engine and supports WPA/WPA2 advanced security protocols, providing bank-level protection for data transmission. Importantly, the module comes pre-certified with major international standards like FCC and CE, and complies with the RoHS environmental directive. This serves as a "fast pass" for your product to enter global markets, effectively helping you mitigate certification risks, lower testing costs, and accelerate time-to-market.

Diverse Application Scenarios

◆ Smart AV & Streaming Devices: Such as set-top boxes, smart projectors, and IP cameras, ensuring smooth 4K HD video playback without buffering.

◆ Industrial IoT & Automation: For industrial routers, data acquisition terminals, and remote monitoring devices, providing reliable connections in complex factory environments.
