Initialization
To restore settings back to the factory defaults, hold down the Reset button on the bottom of the
unit.
Browser Based Administration
This unit can be easily congured from a web browser on your computer.
300 Mbps High Speed Mode
300 Mbps is the link speed of WCR-G300 / WCR-HP-G300 when using Wireless-N mode. It represents
actual wireless data speeds, including overhead. Because the overhead is not available for user data
transfer, usable wireless throughput will be substantially slower.
