ing wired Ethernet network at speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
Even inexperienced users can setup a network environment in a very short time (within minutes). Simply follow the setup proce-
dure described in Section 3.2.

2.2 Features

• Compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/Draft-N wireless network standard, so it works with other 802.11b/g/Draft-N wireless devices.
• High speed wireless network runs six times faster than a conventional 802.11g wireless network (up to 300Mbps).
• Allows wireless devices to connect to an existing wired network and share network resources.
• Supports DHCP server function.
• Supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, and WPA2 wireless data encryption.
• Supports MAC address filtering (only allows a specific wireless device of your choice to connect to this access point).
• Supports RADIUS server (only allows users listed in your authorization server to use the wireless network).
• Supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and simplifies wireless client setup procedures. Even an inexperienced user can set up a
wireless network without a network technician's help.
• Easy to use web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) for network configuration and management purposes.
