Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

The PW-AN401/PW-AN401D 150M Wireless N Access Point is dedicated to Small Office/Home
Office (SOHO) wireless network solutions. It allows for greater range and mobility within your
wireless network while also allowing you to connect the wireless devices to a wired environment.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling will be beneficial for your network.
With using IEEE 802.11n wireless technology, your device can transmit wireless data at the rate of
up to 150Mbps. With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless
LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, WiFi protected Access (WPA2- PSK, WPA- PSK), the
PW-AN401/PW-AN401D 150M Wireless N Access Point delivers complete data privacy. This
device leverages some 802.11n features to provide improved performance and coverage
compared to 802.11a/g devices, and fully interoperates with 802.11n products if they are Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED, but it does not conform to all of the requirements in the IEEE specification and is not
classified as "n" in the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED program.
It supports an easy, web-based setup for installation and management. Even though you may not
be familiar with the Access Point, you can easily configure it with the help of this Guide. Before
installing the AP, please look through this Guide to get the full information of the
