KNOWING YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

KNOWING YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

The WAP has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear of the WAP for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily visible on the front of the WAP to provide you with information about network activity and status.
