Features

◆Faster Wireless Networking The VW300 provides up to 54Mbps wireless connection

with other 802.11g wireless clients.

◆Compatible with 802.11b Devices The VW300 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b

standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11b PCI, USB and Cardbus adaptors.

◆Advanced Firewall feature The Web-based user interface displays a number of

advanced network management features including:

Filter Scheduling – These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.

Parental Controls – Easily applied content filtering based on MAC

Address, and/or URL.

Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions – The VW300 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the VW300 can surely access corporate network.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard specification. Actual data throughput will vary. CDMA Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The VW300 wireless router let your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business.

1. Router should be placed at the position with good CDMA signal.

2. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VW300 and other network devices to a minimum-each wall or ceiling can reduce your adaptor’s range from 1~30 meters. Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X – 10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your

2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use
