EZ CONNECT™ 2.4 GHZ

WIRELESS ETHERNET BRIDGE

Introduction

SMC’s EZ Connect 2.4 GHz Wireless Ethernet Bridge (SMC2870W) can function as:

•an Ethernet adapter, providing a wireless connection via an RJ-45 connection to devices such as Microsoft Xbox and Ethernet ready embedded devices

•a standard IEEE 802.11g access point

•a wireless repeater, allowing you to effectively extend the coverage of another SMC2870W that is configured to operate in Access Point mode

This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (eliminates long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Just install enough wireless access points to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into your notebooks or install wireless adapters into your desktops, and start networking.

Use this device in conjunction with SMC’s EZ Connect Wireless Cards to create an instant network that integrates seamlessly with Ethernet LANs. Moreover, moving or expanding your network is as easy as moving or installing additional access points – no wires!
