Features

4 Different Operation modes - Capable of operating in one of four different operation modes to meet your wireless networking requirements: Access Point; AP-to-AP Bridging; AP-to-Multipoint Bridging; and Wireless Client.

Faster wireless networking with the draft 802.11g standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 54Mbps*

Compatible with the 802.11b standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 11Mbps - that means you can migrate your system to the 802.11g standard on your own schedule without sacrificing connectivity.

Better security with WPA* and 802.1x*

WPA* (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS SERVER, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security

Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS SERVER, will obtain a new security key every time he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the network.

802.1x* Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS SERV- ER verifies the identity of would be clients

Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)

Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range

Easy Installation with the Setup Wizard

Web-based interface for Managing and Configuring

*Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate.

* Available Spring 2003 as a free download
