1. Introduction
Overview
Thank you for purchasing the ASUS 802.11g WLAN AP. The ASUS 802.11g
AP is an Access Point designed to be fully compliant with IEEE pre 802.11g
and 802.11b standards. 802.11g is a proposed (to be finalized) new extension
to 802.11b (used in majority of wireless LANs today) that broadens
802.11b's data rates to 54 Mbps within the 2.4 GHz band using OFDM
(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) technology. 802.11g allows
backward compatibility with 802.11b devices but only at 11 Mbps or lower,
depending on the range and presence of obstructions.
Wireless LANs are complementary extensions to existing wired LANs,
offering complete mobility while maintaining continuous network
connectivity to both corporate and home Intranets. They add a new level of
convenience for LAN users. PC users stay connected to the network
anywhere throughout a building without being bound by a LAN wires.
This is accomplished through the use of ASUS Access Points. ASUS Access
Points with built-in Internet gateway capability, allows your family to share
a broadband Modem and one ISP account simultaneously from different
rooms without wires! ASUS WLAN products can keep you connected
anywhere, any time.
