Workgroup Concentrator

In small networks, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter may be used as a workgroup concentrator to connect up to 8 Ethernet devices to a RangeLAN2 wireless network.

However, the Ethernet Adapter can NOT support more than 8 devices on its Ethernet port, as shown in Figure 7. The Ethernet Adapter filters at a rate less than full Ethernet speed. This will not pose a problem for a small network with a minimal amount of Ethernet traffic; however, if your network has a significant amount of Ethernet traffic or more than 8 Ethernet devices, use a RangeLAN2 Access Point in place of the Ethernet Adapter.
