your home or office by simply placing additional SMCWEBT-Gs in
the desired locations. The Repeater capability of SMCWEBT-G
forwards wireless signal between a wireless client and another
SMCWEBT-G that is connected to the wired network. It extends
the range of your existing wireless network while overcoming
obstacles that block wireless signals such as walls and doors.
The new SMCWEBT-G is the ultimate convenient way to expand
your wireless local area network. To ensure secure transmissions
across your wireless network, users can enable 64/128-bit Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), disable
SSID broadcast, and MAC address filtering. The SMCWEBT-G is
the Industry's First Wireless-to-Ethernet Bridge to support WPA.
In addition, the EZ Connect™ g 2.4GHz 108Mbps Wireless
Ethernet Bridge offers an autofallback feature that provides
scalable connectivity under noisy environments and enables a
larger wireless operating range. The new SMCWEBT-G 2.4GHz
108Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge is easy and simple to install.
It is Plug-and-Play™ and platform independent. The new product
does not require installing any drivers. Simply plug it into your
Ethernet device and your Ethernet device will become wireless!
It is able to communicate in Ad-Hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) with
another 802.11b/g wireless client or in Infrastructure mode,
which requires an Access Point for communication to the wired
network. This means you now have the freedom to place your
printer anywhere in the home or office or to play games with
multiple players over a wireless connection without the con-
straint of messy cabling.
