1. Introduction

The EN2HWI-N3 wireless N300 gigabit gaming router is an 802.11n compliant device that

delivers up to 6x faster speeds than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with

802.11g and 802.11b devices.

It is not only a Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires.

There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch to connect your

wired-Ethernet devices together. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole

network shares a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

The Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output)

technology to transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel. The robust

signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard

802.11g, eliminates dead spots and extends network range.

To protect the data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with

64/128-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI

firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and

supports VPN pass-through. The router also provide easy configuration with the web

browser-based configuration utility.

The incredible speed and QoS function of EN2HWI-N3 are ideal for media-centric

applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony. It is designed to run

multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no

degradation in performance.

This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and

network configuration.
