2.4/5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11 Super a+g
108Mbps Wireless LAN Router

1. Introduction

The Wir eless A+G Broadband Router is a complete all-in-one networking solution for homes and
small/medium enterprises. With its built-in 4 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet switch ports, users can
link multiple computers to Internet without hassle. The built-in wireless function can let you connect
wirelessly with your desktop or notebook computers from up to 300 meters away, either wireless A or
wireless G. A natural firewall protects your local computers from outside intruders. Enhanced firewall
capabilities can resist various kinds of malicious attacks.

- Share Internet Connection
The device supports ADSL/Cable Internet connection sharing. It is an all-in-one box for user to share
Internet access.

- Wireless Function

The Wir eless A+G Router’s efficient dipole antennas offer a covered range up to 300 meters and seamless
roaming throughout wireless LAN infrastructure. The wireless operation provides data rate at
54,48,36,24,18,12, 9,6 Mbps on 11g and auto fallback as well as 11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps on 11b The Wireless
Router provides multiple levels of security: 64-bit/128-bit key WEP data encryption for high-level security.
Moreover, the use of IEEE 802.1X offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user
traffic to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. Proprietary wireless range
extension technology expands wireless range at lower bitrate.

- Firewall Security
This Router is a special design for local network users to resist the hacker attacking your private network
and share networking resource. Not only with the NAT as natural firewall, the build-in powerful advanced
firewall engine prevents the DoS attack, proceeds SPI, stops LAN users accessing inappropriate web site,
as well as setting the Internet accessing time schedule. Content filtering shields you children from any
inappropriateness allowing you to set levels for nudity, sex, violence, and language.

- Easy Management
Users can manage the device using standard Java-compatible browser, like IE5.0 or above, Netscape 4.0 or
above.

-Time of Day Access Control List
Users can set up the schedule for individual PCs through ToD (Time of Day) ACL (Access Control List) for
when blocking occurs.
