Chapter 1 Introduction
W302C employs the most advanced wireless
networking technology, IEEE802.11n (Draft 2.0). By
using the reflection signal, 802.11n's “Multiple In,
Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology increases the range
and reduces “dead spots” in the wireless coverage
area. Unlike ordinary wireless networking of
802.11b/g standards that are confused by wireless
reflections, MIMO can actually use these reflections to
increase four times transmission range of 802.11g
products. Besides, when both ends of the wireless link
are 802.11n products, MIMO technology can utilize
twice radio band to increase three times transmission
speed of ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can
comply with backwards 802.11b/802.11g standards.
Soft AP supported by W302C can help you establish
wireless LAN networking with lowest cost. Besides,
WPS (PBC and PIN) encryption method can free you
from remembering the long passwords. Complete
WMM function makes your voice and video more
smooth.
