NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual

•Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they are easy to change.

•Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect.

•Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.

•Secure and Economical Operation. Adjustable power output allows more secure or economical operation.

•Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WG302v2 over the Ethernet port from any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source such as the NETGEAR FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Layer 3 managed switch.

•Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink™ Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.

•LED Indicators. Power, Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity are easily identified.

•Wireless Virtual LAN (VLAN) Support. VLANs enable a network of computers to behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they might actually be physically located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. VLANs are very useful for user/host management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization.

•Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM.

•Quality of Service (QoS) Support. You can configure parameters that affect traffic flowing from the access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the client station to the access point. The QoS feature allows you to prioritize traffic, such as voice and video traffic, so that packets do not get dropped.
