Linksys WAP55AG - Wireless A+G Access Point User manual

Dual-Band Wireless
A + G Access Point
he Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point gives you
universal wireless connectivity. It's the best way to add wire-
less capability to your existing wired network, or to add
bandwidth to your wireless installation.
The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point actually contains two
separate wireless connectivity radio transceivers, which support all
three popular wireless networking specifications. The first trans-
ceiver uses the 2.4GHz radio band, supporting both the widely-used
and inexpensive Wireless-B (802.11b) standard at 11Mbps, and the
new, almost five times faster, Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) at
54Mbps. The second radio operates in the 5GHz band, and sup-
ports Wireless-A (802.11a) networking, also at 54Mbps. Since the
two radios operate in different bands, they can work simultaneous-
ly, blanketing your wireless zone with high-speed bandwidth.
To protect your data and privacy, the A+G Access Point can encrypt
all wireless transmissions. The MAC Address filter lets you decide
exactly who has access to your wireless network while Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) puts your network on the cleanest chan-
nel in your location. Configuration is a snap with the web brows-
er-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point, you'll
have the best of all worlds -- Wireless-B for legacy compatibility,
and both Wireless-G and Wireless-A for high-speed access.
