Wireless Access Point WA840G

Your wireless access point offers these great features:

Wireless Connectivity

Connects your PC to your wireless network and allows you to communicate unfettered. Using the 802.11g and 802.11b wireless communication standards will ensure compliance with current and future standards.

Secure Transmission

Protection against Internet intruders is crucial. The access point supports single session encryption when communicating with just the client, and it also supports network encryption when communicating with surrounding wireless networks.

The access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Media Access Control (MAC) filtering protocols, giving you the choice to share your Internet connection with only those you designate.
