Product Overview

Integrated N Wireless Access Point

N MIMO is an exciting new wireless technology based on the draft IEEE 802.11n specification. It employs MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) smart-antenna technology that achieves data rates of up to 300Mbps.* Actual throughput is typically lower than the connected data rate and will vary depending on your networking environment.

*NOTE : The standard transmission rate—300Mbps—is the physical data rate. Actual data throughput will be lower.

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 Advanced User Interface and you can control access to your network.
