1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the WLAN Residential Gateway
which is designed to aim at FTTX
applications. This WLAN Residential Gateway provides four TP ports for LAN applications, one
fiber optic or TP port for WAN, wireless function provides users not only more flexible ways to
enjoy bandwidth-intensive services but also more secure internetwork connections by
implementing packet or URL filtering policies.
The wireless function of this Gateway conforms to IEEE 802.11n standards that can provide speed
rate up to 30Mbps or 300Mbps when used with other 802.11n wireless products (the speed rate
varies depends on the model that your purchase). To enhance wireless connections to reach
further, the antennas, dispersing the same amount of power in all directions, can be used to
receive and deliver stable and high-gain transmissions. The WLAN Residential Gateway also
supports WPA/WPA2/WPA-Mixed authentication methods and 64/128-bit data encryption to
implement strict security protection so as to prevent your wireless networks from unauthorized
uses or possible malicious attacks. Other security mechanisms provided that can protect your
network including the uses of disabling SSID broadcast function, MAC filtering, URL filtering,
DDoS protection.
The WLAN Residential Gateway is mainly dedicated to the FTTX broadband service providers
who look for a way of delivering multiple IP services to the home users. The fiber optic port
supports connection distance from 2KM to 20KM or further than 100KM by using multi-mode
optical fiber, single-mode optical fiber (SMF), or bi-direction SMF. The transmission distance varies
depending on the fiber transceiver that your purchase. For detailed information about fiber
transceiver, please refer to Fiber Transceiver Information PDF in Documentation CD-ROM. To
easily manage and maintain the device, advanced network settings are configurable via Web-
based Management such as Firmware upgrade. The featured NAT and DHCP server functions
also allow you to use a hub or switch to establish a private network depending on your personal
needs that allows multiple computers to share a single Internet connection.
