ZyXEL ZYAIR B-2000 User Manual

Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-port Switch

The ZyAIR B-2000 is the ideal networking

solution for home and small businesses,

providing wireless access to computer networks

with high-speed broadband Internet connection.

With the combination of Access Point and a

10/100 Mbps 4-port switch, your wireless

network can be extended without an additional

hub or switch. The built-in NAT and DHCP

functions enable multiple users to share one

public IP address, maximizing network efficiency

while minimizing network investment and

maintenance costs.

Based on the IEEE 802.1x authentication

framework, the ZyAIR B-2000 provides your

network with solid security, protecting your data

while simultaneously preventing hackers from

accessing your wireless LAN. IEEE 802.11b

compliance and Wi-Fi certification ensures that

the ZyAIR B-2000 will be interoperable with any

802.11b and Wi-Fi compliant wireless device.

With its fantastic design and powerful features in

one compact unit, the ZyAIR B-2000 wireless

LAN gateway provides a high quality,

comprehensive networking solution that allows

efficient, secure, and reliable communication.

Benefits

Extended Ethernet Network

The ZyAIR B-2000 can be a gateway to your

Local Area Network and high-speed Internet

access. Moreover, it can also extend your

Ethernet network in your home or office, allowing

you to share and extend your Cable/DSL

connection anywhere, without the extra time or

expense needed for Ethernet cabling.

High Level of Network Access Security Based on IEEE 802.1x and

RADIUS Client

The ZyAIR B-2000 security architecture is based on the IEEE 802.1x

standard for wireless networks. IEEE 802.1x, Port-Based Network

Access Control, is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol

services that provide centralized, user-based authentication and

single-user, single-session encryption keys for hassle-free security

administration and user-based privacy. In addition, MAC address

filtering allows the network manager to maintain a user name list in

order to identify who can access the network through the wireless

LAN.

User-friendly Installation and Configuration

With an auto-run, Easy Setup Wizard, installation is quick and

simple. Consequently, networking experts are not needed to pull

cables through the walls and ceilings of your home or office, thus

saving time and money. Additionally, the Web-based configurator

allows you to easily configure and manage your device in ways you

never thought possible.

All-in-One Solution

The ZyAIR B-2000 integrates an Access Point, 4-port switch, and

NAT router, as well as a variable antenna into one compact unit.

Moreover, the ZyAIR B-2000 also allows a multiple-user connection

to the Internet, using a single purchased IP address with Network

Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) functionalities.

High-gain Design Provides Seamless Link Quality

The ZyAIR B-2000's high-gain design provides excellent link quality

and longer reach distance throughout your wireless LAN

infrastructure, and allows users to share network resources. A high-

quality wireless connection is still available even under a disturbed

environment. With the ZyAIR B-2000, you can truly take your

laptop anywhere in the vicinity of your home or office, and enjoy

network access at anytime.

Best Price Performance
