Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of WL-322 Wireless etwork Broadband
modem/Router. WL-322 is compliant with draft 802.11n v 2.0 up to 6 times
faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with
802.11g & 802.11b gadgets. WL-322 is not only a Modem or Wireless Access
Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that connects your
wired-Ethernet devices together at.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the
Modem/Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to
transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you
seamless access to multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther,
eliminates dead spots and extends network range. For data protection and
privacy, WL-322 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2
encryption.
With inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall WL-322 protects your
computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides
safe VP pass-through. With incredible speed and QoS function of
802.11n(draft2.0), WL-322 is ideal for media-centric applications like
streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense
data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in
performance.
