In roduc ion
The WL-350 is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 6x faster
speeds than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and
802.11b devices.
It is not only a Wireless Access oint, which lets you connect to the network
without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit
Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. The Router function ties
it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL
Internet connection.
The Access oint built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-
Output) technology to transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless
channel. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to
3 times farther than standard 802.11g, eliminating dead spots and extending
network range.
To protect the data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions
with 64/128-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHC Server, has a
powerful S I firewall to protect your Cs against intruders and most known
Internet attacks, and supports V N pass-through. The router also provides easy
configuration with the web browser-based configuration utility.
The incredible speed and the fully automatic QoS function of the 802.11n
(draft2.0) Gigabit Router is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming
video, gaming, and VoI telephony. It is designed to run multiple media-intense
data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in
performance.
