Introduction
The 54Mbps Access Point provides the most expanded user bandwidth available in an
AP. Network members can connect to this AP using any of its channels to transfer data
at speeds never achievable before in a wireless device. The 54Mbps Access Point
operates seamlessly and simultaneously in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrums supporting
the 802.11b and the newer, faster 802.11g wireless standards. For offices, schools or
public hotspots that already use 802.11b devices, the 54Mbps Access Point is a great
way to expand an existing network and enable even more users to communicate with
one another, access data and the Internet. Now, you can have an AP that will
compliment your existing network and protect the investment you made when you
provided the convenience of wireless networking.
The 54Mbps Access Point offers transfer rates up to 54Mbps in the 2.4GHz band, large
data packets travel from the router to a remote desktop or roaming laptop PC at up to
five times the speed of previous wireless devices. Everyone can work faster and more
efficiently or watch a streaming video smoothly. Network administrators can partition the
usage of the 54Mbps Access Point by segmenting the users on the wireless network by
frequency band. Users who require special networking privileges — access to sensitive
information, specific departments or videoconferencing — may use just the 802.11b and
802.11g channels. This type of user segmentation optimizes the AP’s performance and
delivers the best network experience to each set of users.
The 54Mbps Access Point is ideal for network administrators who require additional
management, firewall, and other network security features. All of the AP’s settings are
easily accessible in the operating system independent, Web-based software user
interface that also features a step-by-step Setup Wizard to get your router up and
running in just a matter of minutes. The 54Mbps Access Point incorporates the WPA*
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) which dynamically encrypts data as it’s being sent.
