Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network?

Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network), you can play with other connected members on the network. Refer to the game’s user guide for more information.

What is the IEEE 802.11g draft?

IEEE is Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which is formulating a standard for the industry. IEEE 802.11g draft is submitted by IEEE and it is estimated to be finalized in June, 2003. This wireless standard will allow 802.11b and 802.11g devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other. 802.11g draft allows wireless connection performance to 54Mbps.

What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?

The IEEE 802.11b standard was proposed by IEEE subcommittee. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware from different manufacturers to communicate. The maximum performance of 802.11b is 11Mbps.

What’s Ad-hoc?

An Ad-hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN Adapter, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.

What is Infrastructure?

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers.

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 Wireless Network Access Point. Before using the roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same SSID with the Wireless Access Point of dedicated coverage area.

What is Spread Spectrum?

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In the other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not turned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).

What is WEP?

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. If the WEP is on, all the data sent through wireless LAN are encrypted for security.

NP5410 specifications

The NetComm NP5410 is an advanced, dual WAN broadband router designed to meet the needs of users requiring reliable and high-speed internet connectivity. This device is primarily aimed at small to medium-sized businesses that demand uninterrupted service and enhanced network performance.

One of the standout features of the NP5410 is its dual WAN capability, which allows it to connect to two separate internet services simultaneously. This not only provides a failover option ensuring consistent uptime but also enables load balancing to optimize bandwidth usage across multiple connections. The router supports various WAN types, including DSL, cable, and 3G/4G LTE, providing flexibility for different network environments.

Equipped with high-performance hardware, the NP5410 boasts a powerful processor that supports high-speed data processing and multiple concurrent connections. It also features advanced Quality of Service (QoS) settings that prioritize network traffic for critical applications, guaranteeing smooth performance during peak usage times.

Security is a crucial aspect of the NP5410, as it comes with built-in firewall capabilities, and supports VPN protocols, including IPsec and PPTP. This enables secure remote access for employees working from home or on the go. Additionally, the router has authentication features, ensuring that only authorized users can connect to the network, which helps protect sensitive data.

The NP5410 also supports wireless connectivity with dual-band Wi-Fi, providing coverage for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. This dual-band functionality allows users to connect a wide range of devices with varying performance needs, from older devices on the 2.4GHz band to modern devices that benefit from the higher speeds available on the 5GHz band. Moreover, the router incorporates the latest Wi-Fi standards, including802.11ac, which enhances wireless performance and range.

For ease of management, the NetComm NP5410 features a user-friendly web interface, allowing administrators to easily configure settings, monitor network performance, and troubleshoot issues as they arise. Integration with remote management tools is also supported, making it convenient for IT personnel to manage devices across multiple locations.

In summary, the NetComm NP5410 is a robust broadband router that combines dual WAN capabilities, high-speed performance, strong security features, and user-friendly management tools. Its design and technologies make it an ideal choice for businesses requiring reliable and efficient network solutions.
