Dual-Band Wireless A+B
Broadband Router
The Dual-Band WirelessA+B Broadband Router is like four devices in
one box!The Router function lets you securely share one high-speed
Internet connection among your entire network, while the 4-port,
full-duplex, 10/100 Switch jumpstarts your wired Ethernet network.
Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches
to create as big a network as you need.
The Dual-Band Wireless A+B Broadband Router also contains two
Wireless Access Points, which let you connect with wireless-networked
PCs using either the popular 2.4GHz, 802.11b standard at 11Mbps, or the
new, almost five times faster, 5GHz, 802.11a standard. Since both stan-
dards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b
equipment today, and migrate to the 802.11a standard as your needs
grow.
In addition to up to 152-bit encryption of wireless transmissions, the
Dual-Band Wireless A+B Broadband Router supports the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.The
Router also serves as a DHCP Server, has NAT technology to protect
against Internet intruders,supports VPN pass-through,and can be config-
ured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap
with the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Dual-BandWirelessA+B Broadband Router at the center
of your home or office network,you can share a high-speed Internet con-
nection, files, printers, and multi-player games with the flexibility, speed,
and security you need!
