Introduction

The N4100 combines an IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless access point, router,
4-port switch and service gateway in one box. A "statement printer"
allows you to easily generate subscriber accounts and print account
statements. You can connect it directly to the N4100. The subscriber is a
client with authenticated access to the Internet through the N4100.

In this example, a computer connects to the N4100’s (a) LAN port for
management. You also attach a RADIUS server for subscriber
authentication and a statement printer (c) for statements printing. The
N4100 connects to a broadband modem (b), which then connects to the
Internet. Wireless subscribers have seamless Internet access through
the N4100.
