Description of Hardware

The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the three Fast Ethernet LAN ports or through the wireless interface. It can also function as a print server.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. And PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
