SMC2870W
2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Suitable for home and/or office, the EZ Connect™ g 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless
Ethernet Bridge (SMC2870W) instantly converts any Ethernet device, such
as a gaming console, printer, set-top box, point-of-sale terminal, desktop or
laptop computer into a wireless network device. In addition, this new product
can be configured to operate as an Access Point and has built-in Repeater
functionality via support for Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Thus
allowing you to connect your 802.11b and/or 802.11g clients to the wireless
network or extend the coverage of your WLAN in your home or office by
simply placing additional SMC2870Ws in the desired locations. The Repeater
capability of SMC2870W forwards wireless signal between a wireless client
and another SMC2870W that is connected to the wired network. It extends
the range of your existing wireless network while overcoming obstacles
that block wireless signals such as walls and doors. The new SMC2870W is
the ultimate convenient way to expand your wireless local area network. To
ensure secure transmissions across your wireless network, users can enable
64/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA),
disable SSID broadcast, and MAC address filtering.
The SMC2870W is the Industry’s First Wireless-to-Ethernet Bridge to support
WPA. In addition, the EZ Connect™ g 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge
offers an autofallback feature that provides scalable connectivity under
noisy environments and enables a larger wireless operating range. The new
SMC2870W 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge is easy and simple to
install. It is Plug-and-Play™ and platform independent. The new product does
not require installing any drivers. Simply plug it into your Ethernet device
and your Ethernet device will become wireless! It is able to communicate
in Ad-Hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) with another 802.11b wireless client or in
Infrastructure mode, which requires an Access Point for communication
to the wired network. This means you now have the freedom to place your
printer anywhere in the home or office or to play games with multiple players
over a wireless connection without the constraint of messy cabling.
