Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-354 Wireless ADSL2+ Mode .
The WL-354 uses technology based on 802.11n, and is fully co pliant with
802.11g & 802.11b. The ode provides even better perfor ance when
used in co bination with 150N or 802.11n client adapters.
The WL-354 is not only a Mode or Wireless Access Point, but can also be
used to connect a wired-Ethernet device.
For data protection and privacy, the WL-354 can encode all wireless
trans issions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. By default, the ode
is secured with a WPA2(AES) encryption key. (The WPA2-key is printed on the
label underneath the ode .)
With an inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WL-354 protects your
co puters against intruders and ost known Internet attacks but provides
safe VPN pass-through.
