How fast is the wireless network?

The rated speed of the wireless network under optimal conditions is 54Mbps. This speed does vary, depending on distance from the Access Point and the amount of attenuation (physical barriers such as walls, glass, etc.) the wireless signal must go through..

Can I share my Internet connection using the Access Point?

Yes, but you need additional equipment. The Access Point is basically a hub, so it can be connected (using a crossover Ethernet cable) to a router or gateway with an Internet connection. This would allow all computers connecting wirelessly to the Access Point to share an Internet connection.

Does the Access Point provide network traffic filtering capabilities?

No, the Access Point is not an Integrated Access Device (IAD). For network traf- fic filtering capabilities, a firewall or similar must be used.

Does the Access Point provide load balancing capabilities?

No, the Access Point is not designed to track the load on the network resources; it is a data transport device.

Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the Access Point?

Yes, the Access Point can handle both 802.11b cards and 802.11g cards.

Will cordless phones interfere with the Access Point?

The 802.11g Access Point uses 2.4 GHz frequency. If your cordless phone uses this frequency, problems may occur. Different cordless phones use different fre- quencies, and generally include a label stating which frequency they use. If you are having problems with interference caused by your cordless phone, try chang- ing the Access Point's channel. This can sometimes clear up interference issues. Any wireless device using the 2.4 GHz frequency can cause wireless interference.

Is the Access Point's firmware flash upgradeable?

Yes, the firmware is upgradeable. Any new firmware will be posted at the Actiontec Web site for download purposes. See the User Manual for more details.
