2: Hardware Installation

2.1 Product Description

This chapter describes the features and functions of the router and shows how to physically install it.

2.1.1 Overview

As the interface between WAN and LAN, the Wireless Access Point Router combines the technology of Fast Ethernet and IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN, providing the home and small office users the broadband access to the internet via cord and cordless connection. Meanwhile with the integration-the firewall and 128-bit WEP (Wired Encrypted Privacy) Encryption, the Wireless Access Point Router allows multiple users to share one Internet connection while ensuring the safety and security of the packet flow. Also, the design of one antenna will enhance the reception of signals transmitting from wireless adapters.
Strictly compliant with IEEE 802.11b, the Wireless Access Point Router features the transmission rate up to 11 Mbps and 2.4 GHz frequency band, easily building up the wireless communication with other Wireless LAN devices. The local users' IP address masking and specific port blocking offer two levels of security. Also, the Wireless Access Point Router serves as a DHCP server that aut omatically assigns IP address to the devices on your local area network (LAN).

2.1.2 Features

Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) 2.4GHz compliant equipment Transmission speeds adjustable at 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. Features 2.4 GHz frequency band. Capable of up to128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption secures the
network connection.
MAC address filtering Supports PPPoE, PPTP Client, and Dynamic DNS Connects to a Cable/DSL modem or to an Ethernet backbone Equipped with a 4-port 10/100 Mbps Switch Creates a firewall to protect your PCs from outside intruders Configurable through any networked PC’s web browser Speeds up the gaming and multimedia connections dramatically Simultaneously act as either a DHCP server on the LAN or a DHCP client on the
