Introduction; Features & Benefits - EnGenius ECB-8610 User Manual

1 Introduction

The Wireless High Power and High Gain Multi-Client Bridge/Access Point/ WDS
(wireless distribution system) operates seamlessly in the dual band 2.4/5 GHz
frequency spectrum supporting the 802.11b (2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and the newer, faster
802.11g (2.4GHz, 54Mbps)/ 802.11a (5GHz, 54Mbps) wireless standards.
High output power and high sensitivity can extend range and coverage to reduce the
roaming between APs to get more stability wireless connection. It also can reduce
the expense of equipment in the same environment.
To protect your wireless connectivity, this device can encrypt all wireless
transmissions through 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and also supports
WPA2/WPA/802.1x for powerful security authentication. The MAC addresses filter
lets you select exactly which stations should have access to your network.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and
network configuration.
