Introduction

The TEW-637AP is an 802.11n (draft 2.0) high-performance, wireless AP that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.

Unlike most Access Points, the TEW-637AP provides data transfers at up to 300 Mbps when used with other 11n products. This AP is backwards compatible with 802.11b/g products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11n (draft2.0) and 802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11n (draft 2.0) into your 802.11g network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 802.11g devices with 802.11n (draft 2.0) devices.
