WA840G
Congratulations on purchasing the Motorola Wireless Access Point
WA840G.
With the WA840G, you can network with everyone in your home or
small office — wirelessly. The centerpiece of a user-friendly wireless
network, the WA840G is a capable of providing data rates up to
54 Mbps, which is nearly 5 times faster than 802.11b networking.
Using the WA840G, you can effortlessly share files, pictures,
peripherals, printers and more with everyone else on the network. By
connecting a broadband modem (cable, DSL or other) and a router,
you can also share a single high speed Internet connection. That's
everyone online, all at the same time.
Because the access point is built with both the popular 802.11b
wireless standard and the new nearly 5-times-faster 802.11g
standard, your access point provides you the ultimate in flexibility and
®
speed. With Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) included, your wireless
connections are robust and secure, giving you the security to
communicate without fear that your signal might be compromised.
Upgradeable firmware keeps the access point's control software up-
to-date. The WA840G captures the latest technology in a package
that will stay current for many years, protect your home network, and
provide you with easy home network management.
