ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router

1 Introduction

The Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 6x
faster speeds than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b
devices.
It is not only a Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without
wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch to connect
your wired-Ethernet devices together. The Router function ties it all together and lets
your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
The Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output)
technology to transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel. The robust
signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than
standard 802.11g, eliminates dead spots and extends network range.
To protect the data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with
64/128-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI
firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and
supports VPN pass-through. The router also provide easy configuration with the web
browser-based configuration utility.
The incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n (draft2.0) Gigabit Router is ideal for
media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony. It is
designed to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same
time, with no degradation in performance.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and
network configuration.
