Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-366 Wireless Networ Broadband
Router. The WL-366 is compliant with 802.11n v2.0 and up to 6 times faster
than standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with 802.11g
& 802.11b devices. The WL-366 is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also
doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that connects your wired-Ethernet
devices together.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router
uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit
multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless
access to multimedia content. Robust RF signals travel farther, eliminating dead
spots and extending networ range. For data protection and privacy, the WL-
366 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption.
With an inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WL-366 protects your
computers against intruders and most nown Internet attac s but provides safe
VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and the QoS function of 802.11n,
the WL-366 is ideal for media-centric applications li e streaming video, gaming,
and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the
networ at the same time, with no degradation in performance.
