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.
