INTRODUCTION
The Product
The product is based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is the latest 54Mbps Wireless LAN
(WLAN) standard. This standard is five times faster than the widely deployed WiFi (802.11b)
products that are found in homes, airport and public wireless hotspots. Because 802.11g uses the
same 2.4GHz frequency band, the product is fully interoperable with existing WiFi cards and
devices.
Having two wireless protocols in one product ensure that your investments are protected, while
enabling you to enjoy the fastest Wireless LAN speed.
The product is a combination of 3 devices:
a.
Wireless LAN Access Point (AP) compliant to 802.11b and 802.11g standards.
b.
4-port Auto MDI/MDIX Switch
c.
Router with NAT, DHCP Server built-in.
The product is an all-in-one device that allows multiple PCs to share a common broadband
(ADSL/Cable) modem. It can serve up to 4 Ethernet-PCs and many WLAN-notebooks. The built-
in NAT and DHCP Servers ensure almost plug-and-play convenience for your home network.
Advanced features such as Firewall, DMZ and WPA/WPA 2 Encryption make this a product
equally suitable for your office needs.
Product Features
Fully compatibility with IEEE 802.11g WLAN standard
Utilize OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
Wireless data rate of up to 54Mbps for APRT-2801G and 108Mbps for APRT-2801GS
Operates in the 2.4GHz license-free frequency band
Connects multiple computers to a broadband modem to share Internet connection
Equipped with 4 10/100 Ethernet ports and 1 WAN port, Auto MDI/MDIX
Full backward compatibility with 802.11b standard (WiFi 11Mbps)
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) authorizes users based on a simple WLAN encryption
standard to protect wireless data from sniffers.
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) authorizes users and identifies users based on an
improved WLAN encryption standard where the secret key changes dynamically at
regular intervals
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), when used in conjunction with a corporate
RADIUS server, ensure higher security for enterprise networks.
Pre Shared Key, suitable for home user, without a RADIUS server. A new key is
generated each time the PC connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of
information exchange within the network
WPA 2 is the enhancement of WPA which uses the AES encryption algorithm.
Advance Firewall features to protect your network from the Internet.
NAT with VPN pass through to provide higher security.
MAC filtering
IP filtering
Built-in DHCP Servers that distributes IP addresses automatically to computers,
simplifying network setup.
