Dual-Band Wireless A + G Access Point

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Instant Wireless Dual-Band Wireless A + G Access Point

The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point gives you universal wireless
connectivity. It's the best way to add wireless capability to your existing wired
network, or to add bandwidth to your wireless installation.
The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point actually contains two separate wire-
less connectivity radio transceivers, which support all three popular wireless net-
working specifications. The first transceiver uses the 2.4GHz radio band, sup-
porting both the widely-used and inexpensive Wireless-B (802.11b) standard at
11Mbps, and the new, almost five times faster, Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) at
54Mbps. The second radio operates in the 5GHz band, and supports Wireless-A
(802.11a) networking, also at 54Mbps. Since the two radios operate in different
bands, they can work simultaneously, blanketing your wireless zone with high-
speed bandwidth.
To protect your data and privacy, the A+G Access Point can encrypt all wireless
transmissions. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who has access
to your wireless network while Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) puts your
network on the cleanest channel in your location. Configuration is a snap with
the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point, you'll have the best of
all worlds -- Wireless-B for legacy compatibility, and both Wireless-G and
Wireless-A for high-speed access.
