Introduction to GW-DS300N
Thank you for purchasing IEEE802.11n Wireless PCIBus
Adapter – GW-DS300N. GW-DS300N is backward compatible with
802.11b and 802.11g standards. It uses the powerful MIMO technology
which has further coverage, less dead spots and higher throughput. When
GW-DS300N is connecting to the standard 802.11b or 802.11g APs or
routers, it can perform much better than other standard stations. It also
supports WMM, WMM-PS and WMM-SA (IEEE802.11e QoS standard).
In addition, GW-DS300N supports higher data throughput than the
IEEE802.11g standard (up to 300Mbps). It can compress the data and
decrease the waiting time of sending the data to the next routers or APs, so
it increases the data transmission rate. This function is called Turbo Mode.
When GW-DS300N WLAN adapter connect to the APs or routers by using
this particular function, your wireless network will be more effective.
For the security of WLAN, GW-DS300N supports 64/128-bit WEP data
encryption which protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It
also supports WPA which combines IEEE802.1x and TKIP technologies.
Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or routers,
and the data transmitted on the network is encrypted and decrypted by a
dynamically changed secret key. Besides, GW-DS300N supports WPA2
function which provides a stronger encryption through AES which is the
most advanced WLAN solution for IEEE802.11i.
The best thing is that GW-DS300N has an innovative built-in
WPS
(Wi-Fi
Protected Setup) function which can build a connection between an AP
and synchronize the encryption settings simply through a click on a button.
GW-DS300N is cost effective and with many versatile features. It must be
the best solution for you to build your wireless network.
