1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of ESR-9752 Wireless Network Broadband Router. ESR-9752 is compliant with draft 802.11n v 2.0 up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with 802.11g &

802.11b gadgets. ESR-9752 is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit Switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together at incredible speeds.

At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel giving you seamless access to multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and extends network range. For data protection and privacy, ESR-9752 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.

With inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall ESR-9752 protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides safe VPN pass-through. With incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n, (draft2.0) ESR-9752 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance.
