WG602
54 Mbps Wireless Access Point
Up to 5x Faster and Backward Compatible with 802.11b
Wireless Networks
NETGEAR’s WG602 Wireless Access Point connects to all IEEE 802.11b wireless networks.
And it lets you add new clients at the screaming-fast IEEE 802.11g standard at 54 Mbps,
while it maintains support for your existing 802.11b network–taking care of today’s needs
as well as tomorrow’s. With its high-speed data transmission of up to 54 Mbps network
users can share a broadband Internet connection, access e-mail, download large files,
videoconference, and distribute and play digital images, videos, and MP3 files. Easy to
set up and use, NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard install assistant makes installations a cinch.
And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network
communications are private.
Simultaneously supports both IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard devices and networks. This dual
mode capability protects your 802.11b wireless investment and, at the same time, has you ready
for the up to five times faster 802.11g. Provides connectivity to a wired or wireless network for
expanded bandwidth. Higher speeds expedite large file downloads and facilitate videoconferencing
and the distribution and playing of high-quality multimedia content.
Provides the highest available level of industry-standard WEP encryption: 128-bit for both 802.11b
and 802.11g devices. MAC address authentication offers enhanced security by ensuring only
authorized users can access the network. Wi-Fi Protected Access using a pre-shared key (WPA-PSK)
also supported.**
Connect two LANS wirelessly using the bridge mode. Extend your wireless signal by adding a
WG602 in repeater mode.** Dynamic rate shifting according to environmental conditions achieves
the fastest possible connections. Thorough testing ensures quality and reliable operation, which
NETGEAR backs up with a solid 3-year warranty.
