Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Fry’s introduces another breakthrough in wireless connectivity. The Fry’s Wireless G FR-54RTR Router which is
capable of transferring data with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* in the 2.4GHz frequency — the
same wireless frequency as 802.11b. The Fry’s FR-54RTR Wireless Router also offers four Ethernet ports to support
multiple computers.
The advanced wireless technology built into the FR-54RTR Wireless Router offers data transfer speeds with a maximum
wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* through its wireless channels allowing streaming videos and other high bandwidth
applications, such as online gaming events, to operate without the hassle of Ethernet cables. The ability to use high
bandwidth applications also makes streaming real-time programs more enjoyable and more efcient.
With the FR-54RTR Wireless Router’s built-in advanced rewall, threats of hackers penetrating your network are
minimized. Some rewall features include functions that allow or disallow certain ports to be open for certain applications.
Features like content ltering, MAC ltering, URL blocking, and domain blocking are useful tools to prevent other
unwanted intruders from connecting to your network or browsing restricted sites.
The easy-to-use conguration wizard takes only minutes to setup and guides users step-by-step through conguring
the FR-54RTR. With all the versatile features and an user-friendly utility, the FR-54RTR Wireless Router provides an
enhanced networking experience.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput
rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The FR-54RTR provides up to 54Mbps* wireless connection with other
802.11g wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as
video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11g wireless router
gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 5x faster than 802.11b.
• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The FR-54RTR is still fully compatible with the IEEE
802.11b standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11b PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or
Domain Name.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The FR-54RTR can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the FR-54RTR
can securely access corporate networks.

you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or
from your company’s server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
