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

Yes, the Gateway can handle 802.11b cards or 802.11g cards. The 802.11g stan- dard is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. The Gateway can be setup to handle just “g” wireless cards, just “b” wireless cards, or both.

If I install several Gateways in different locations in my building, will they be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I move between them?

The Gateway does not communicate with other access points, since it functions as a single access point system. If you installed several Gateway devices and were to move between coverage areas, your wireless device would have to reconnect to a separate network.

Which wireless cards will work with the Gateway?

The Gateway connects with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g/802.11b wireless standards.
