Introduction
1.1 Overview
Thank you for choosing this Wireless Broadband Router. The
Wireless Broadband Route features a wireless Access Point, a
4-port LAN switch and a WAN port, which extends your existing
broadband Cable/ADSL connection. It allows the broadband
connection to be shared through either the IEEE 802.11g Access
Point feature or the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch, which also
eliminates the purchase of additional hub or switch. Now your
wired and wireless network are integrated to enjoy various
bandwidth-consuming applications over the Internet.
With the support of new emerged 802.11g standard, the Access
Point provides data transfer of up to 54 Mbps, up to 5 times faster
than 802.11b. Since 802.11g operates on the same frequency of
2.4 GHz as 802.11b, it is backwards compatible with existing Wi-Fi
devices. The benefit is that you can preserve the existing 802.11b
infrastructure while migrating to the new screaming fast 802.11g.
The integrated DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to
your LAN devices, and with the built-in Network Address
Translation (NAT) function, your LAN is protected against outside
intruders. The router can also be configured to filter internal access
to the Internet. It is designed to provide a reliable Internet access
solution for the corporate environment, the small office and the
home user.
