Quick Start Guide Wireless N Gigabit Router

The Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that
delivers up to 6x faster speeds than 802.11g while staying backward
compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices.

It is not only a Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the
network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex

together. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole
network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

This Quick Start Guide will guide you through the steps of setting up the device using the Wizards. For
advanced configuration, refer to the User’s Manual in the CD-ROM provided.
