1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this Super G™ Wireless Access Point. The Access
Point features four operating modes. The Access Point mode connects your wireless
clients with the wired part of your network. The AP client mode acts as a wireless
network adapter for your PC or game console. The AP Repeater mode extends the
range of your access point/wireless router by repeating the signal to wireless clients that
are beyond the broadcasting range of the access point/wireless router. This provides
the wireless clients with greater flexibility and mobility. Finally, the Point to Point Bridge
mode bridges the network clients from two physically separate LANS into one virtual
LAN.
The Access Point is compatible with existing 802.11b and 802.11g network devices so it
will work with most existing wireless devices. If you have other Super G™ compatible
wireless network device, you can also enable Super G™ on the Access Point for faster
transfer rate.*
