Key Features
Wide Area Coverage at High Speeds
The Belkin AP provides coverage over an indoor area up to 300 feet in radius,
and outdoor area over 1,500 feet in radius.
Up to 128-Bit Encryption
Your Belkin AP is capable of encrypting (scrambling) the transmitted radio
waves so you can be sure that your data is secure. The optional encryption
feature allows you to encrypt at 64 bits or 128 bits using a key that you
enter yourself.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client
identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its
own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the
web-based user interface and you can control access to your network.
Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers
The Access Point supports a variety of networking environments including Mac
OS® 8.x, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT®, 2000,
and XP, and others.
Note: The Access Point can be managed through a web browser without the
included software. The software included supports Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and
XP only but IS NOT necessary to use the Access Point.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the AP’s advanced functions easily through your web browser,
without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no
disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and
perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.
