1 Introduction

The Dual Band Wireless Access Point operates seamlessly and simultaneously in
both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency spectrums supporting the 802.11b (2.4GHz,
11Mbps) and the newer, faster 802.11a (5GHz, 54Mbps) and 802.11g (2.4GHz,
54Mbps) wireless standards. It's the best way to add wireless capability to your
existing wired network, or to add bandwidth to your wireless installation.

To protect your wireless connectivity, the Dual Band Wireless Access Point can
encrypt all wireless transmissions through 64/128/152-bit WEP data encryption. The
MAC address filter lets you select exactly which station has access to your wireless
network. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) puts your network on the cleanest
channel in your location. With the Dual Band Wireless Access Point, you'll
experience the best wireless connectivity available today.
