3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Cable/DSL Router

eXtended range (XR) technology provides longer range connectivity, single access point coverage in home networks as well as eliminating dead spots in corporate wireless LANs, plus provides outdoor coverage of up to two times the distance of last generation competing WLAN solutions # Four 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports with Auto MDI/MDIX provide wired LAN connectivity; up to 253 (64 wireless) users can share the same cable or DSL Internet connection # Dynamic Domain Name Service (DNS) allows users connecting to the Internet with dynamic IP addresses to use network applications such as Web or FTP servers that normally require static IP addresses (requires subscription with Dynamic DNS providers) # URL filtering controls access to inappropriate web sites # IP routing (RIP 1 and 2) and static routing promotes flexibility because it allows the router to be used in multi-network environments # Traffic metering helps monitor Internet usage # Packet bursting increases throughput by sending more frames per a given time period; benefits 11b and 11g wireless clients # 128-bit WPA/WPA2 with TKIP/AES and 40/64 and 128-bit WEP encryption for legacy clients protects the privacy of 11g and 11b wireless transmissions # Wireless Distribution System creates wireless networks by linking several wireless access points with WDS links. This type of set-up alleviates the need to connect the wireless network into a wired LAN. It is ideal for open areas where wiring (or re-wiring) is cost-prohibitive, restricted or physically impossible # Works with either a cable or a DSL modem for configuration flexibility # Web-browser interface and device discovery, simple setup wizards, and preset defaults ensure ease of use # Wi-Fi certification helps ensure interoperability with Wi-Fi certified products from other vendors
