less-G network
connectivity
The Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge with 5-port Switch can be used
as a kind of "cable-less cable" for connecting remote areas
together. Maybe Shipping is all the way across the warehouse
from Receiving. You can connect up to 5 Ethernet-equipped
computers directly to the high-speed 10/100 switch ports on
the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge. Put another one (or a Wireless-
G Access Point, or our one-port Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge) at
the other end, and those 5 computers are connected to your
main network -- with no need to string wires.
And those 5 switch ports can support devices other than PCs.
Since there are no drivers to load, you can make any wired-
Ethernet device -- like a printer or network attached storage
device -- into a wireless network device. All five ports are auto
speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover
detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type.
To protect your data and privacy, all wireless transmissions
can be secured with up to 128-bit encryption.
The Switch supports VPN pass through and port-forwarding.
You can partition your network into up to 64 VLANs, using port-
based 802.1q tagging. It also supports 802.1d Spanning Tree
Protocol to prevent network loops. You can enable QoS on
the switch side, with 4 levels of prioritization by port, 802.1p,
ToS or DiffServ methods. And even with all this power, set up is
a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
Let the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge with 5-port Switch from Link-
sys open up exciting new possibilities for your wireless network.
