Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WLR-2100/3100 Wireless Network
Broadband Router. The WLR-2100/3100 is compliant with 802.11n and up to
6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being
compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b. The WLR-2100/3100 is not only a
Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that
connects your wired-Ethernet devices together.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the 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, the
WLR-2100/3100 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and
WPA2 encryption.
With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WLR-2100/3100
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), the WLR-2100/3100 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.
The router includes Sitecom Cloud Security to protect your home network
against cybercrime.
