the Internet.
You can take most out of the RG54G2 router in the following
applications (see the figure in the following page):
Home device connectivity: ( )
MSI RG54G2 performs as a central point of your local area
network, connecting your wireless and wired devices together to
form a Basic Service Set (BSS). As shown in the middle part of
the below diagram, the out-of-the-box operation mode of the
RG54G2 allows your client stations to share files or printers as
well as to play multiplayer games. Adding a wireless computer is
as easy as inserting a wireless client adapter and configuring the
computer with the same Network Name and Key.
Broadband access sharing: ( )
As shown in the diagram, MSI RG54G2 acts as a gateway to
your network, controlling and routing information to its required
destination on the Internet while protecting your network from
the public access.
Network coverage extension: ( )
With WDS support, MSI RG54G2 router functions as a wire-
less bridge, directly connecting between multiple WLAN through
wireless communications instead of wired connectivity. It helps
extend network range to form a Extend Service Set (ESS) without
tangling wires and cables.
