Free LucidLink Wireless Client software now available from Interlink Networks simplifies wireless connectivity for home office and small business users. The software makes it easier to work wirelessly by eliminating technical terminology, intelligently detecting setup problems, and allowing the same client to be used on office networks and public hotspots as well as any business network utilizing the LucidLink Wireless Security program. The new LucidLink Wi-Fi client can be downloaded to any Windows XP or Windows 2000 PC from www.LucidLink.com.

Designed from the ground up for small business environments, the LucidLink client solves an array of problems that have faced wireless users in the setup process and in connecting to different wireless networks. Benefits include:

--Intelligent detection of security settings, eliminating the need for users to make technical decisions during the connection process. The software also alerts users to incompatible settings or network problems and provides instructions for resolving them, ensuring that users can establish connectivity rather than being left to wonder what is wrong.

--Protection against Evil Twin attacks by hackers who use rogue access points to lure unsuspecting users into connectivity and thereby compromise network security. The LucidLink client blocks these attacks by detecting changes in security settings and alerting users before the connection process begins.

--No switching of clients for different networks, eliminating extra steps and time required to find and configure the appropriate client on one's PC. The LucidLink client can connect to an office network, a public hotspot, or a business network running LucidLink Wireless Security.

In addition to being offered as a free stand-alone utility, the LucidLink Wireless Client is available as part of the new version 2.2 of LucidLink Wireless Security, a plug-and-play wireless security solution that enables businesses with up to 250 wireless users to protect themselves against hackers simply and affordably without the need for technical expertise.

LucidLink Wireless Security delivers the same 802.1X, WPA-enterprise, and 802.11i standards-based security used by Fortune 2000 companies, yet all operations require only one or two clicks. The application intelligently configures the correct setup options for the leading 802.1X-compatible access points and wireless cards without the need for manual intervention; enrolls both permanent and guest users with two clicks; and automatically recognizes, connects and secures authorized users every time they boot up their PCs without extra steps like password entry.

It is priced at $449 for a 10-user license, with volume pricing for 25, 50, 100 and 250 users.

"Wireless computing continues to be a challenge to consumers, despite the convenience of being able to get online anywhere without having to plug in," said Mike Klein, CEO of Interlink Networks. "Our LucidLink Wireless Client is specifically designed to simplify the process of signing on, moving from your home network to your local coffee shop or your office, and troubleshooting when you can't get a connection. We are providing the software free of charge to demonstrate how easy wireless connectivity should be."
