Yes. The Gateway has DHCP server software built-in.

Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network?

This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s documentation to determine if it supports operation over a network.

What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?

It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11g standard allows wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11g standard. The 802.11g standard states a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.

What IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g features are supported?

The product supports the following IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g functions:

CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge protocol

Multi-Channel Roaming

Automatic Rate Selection

RTS/CTS feature

Fragmentation

Power Management

What is ad-hoc mode?

When a wireless network is set to ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped computers are configured to communicate directly with each other, peer-to-peer without the use of an access point.

What is infrastructure mode?

When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a network through a wireless access point.

What is roaming?

Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single access point. Before using the roaming function, the computer must make sure that it is the same channel number with the access point of dedicated coverage area.
