High-Speed Wireless Access for Exterior Environments!
Add high-speed Wireless-
G access to the exterior
areas of your wired home
or small business network
Advanced security with WPA
encryption (both WPA-Enter-
prise and WPA-Personal), log-
ging, and wireless intrusion
protection
Data rates up to
54Mbps in Wireless-G
(802.11g) mode, or
11Mbps in Wireless-B
(802.11b)
Weather-proof housing,
internal high-gain
antenna, and Power-over-
Ethernet enable safe, sim-
ple, exterior installations
The Linksys Wireless-G Exterior Access Point lets you connect
Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your
wired network so you can add PCs to the network with no
cabling hassle. This weather-proof Access Point creates a "wire-
less bubble" in exterior spaces, like patios, pool areas, and out-
door cafés. Power over Ethernet support makes it easy to
install, and you can create multiple SSIDs (up to eight) that con-
nect to individual VLANs to keep your traffic separated.
It's also perfect for use as a bridge, a kind of "cable-less cable"
to connect remote areas together. Maybe your warehouse is
in a separate building from your offices. Or maybe you need
to connect the separate buildings of a college campus. With
one Wireless-G Exterior Access Point on each building, you're
connected at 54Mbps – with no cable to run. The exterior-
rated case protects the access point, and contains an internal
antenna.
To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Exterior Access
Point supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the
industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access™
(WPA), encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful
encryption. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who
has access to your wireless network, and advanced logging
and emailed intrusion alerts keep you appraised. Configura-
tion is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
The Linksys Wireless-G Exterior Access Point is the best way to
add wireless access to the outdoor areas of your home or busi-
ness.
