Introduction

>>> 1.1 WSR-3018 - Wireless 11g

Broadband Router

WSR-3018 Wireless Broadband Router (hereafter called

WSR-3018), compliant with IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11b, is
designed for high throughput and fully function that leads you
into the wireless network environment. In the rapid growing
network environment, WSR-3018 acts as a home-end device
that connects your computer to the WAN service (e.g. the
Internet). With the WSR-3018, networking and sharing informa­tion throughout the house/office become an easy and flexible
task. In addition, the WSR-3018 is also a switching device as an
aggregating point of the wireless LAN and wired LAN clients,
and as a router between LAN and WAN traffic.

Combined the SPI firewall, wireless Access Point and LAN
switch into a compact package, WSR-3018 can provide you
with the essential security and IP sharing function. These fea­tures build the WSR-3018 as a cutting-edge, cost-effective device
that fits to SOHO/home application.

WSR-3018 is a Base Station that bridges communication
between computers (via wireless networking), and connects
the computers to the Internet.

You can use the WSR-3018 in the following applications:

Home connectivity

A stand-alone wireless network. As shown in the right part of
the diagram below ( ), the out-of-the-box mode of operation
for the WSR-3018 that allows your client stations to share files
and printers. Adding wireless computers is as easy as inserting
a wireless client adapter and configuring the computer with the
same Network Name and Key.

Broadband access

A wireless/wired Internet access via xDSL/Cable Modem or
Ethernet ( ). To access the Internet via a xDSL/Cable or ISDN
modem, you will need to:
