Introduction
SMC’s EZ Connect 2.4 GHz Wireless Ethernet Bridge
(SMC2870W) can function as:
• an Ethernet adapter, providing a wireless connection via an
RJ-45 connection to devices such as Microsoft Xbox and
Ethernet ready embedded devices
• a standard IEEE 802.11g access point
• a wireless repeater, allowing you to effectively extend the
coverage of another SMC2870W that is configured to operate
in Access Point mode
This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with
considerable cost savings over wired LANs (eliminates long-term
maintenance overhead for cabling). Just install enough wireless
access points to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into
your notebooks or install wireless adapters into your desktops,
and start networking.
Use this device in conjunction with SMC’s EZ Connect Wireless
Cards to create an instant network that integrates seamlessly
with Ethernet LANs. Moreover, moving or expanding your network
is as easy as moving or installing additional access points – no
wires!
