Features
◆Faster Wireless Networking
The VW300 provides up to 54Mbps wireless connection
with other 802.11g wireless clients.
◆Compatible with 802.11b Devices
The VW300 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b
standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11b PCI,
USB and Cardbus adaptors.
◆Advanced Firewall feature
The Web-based user interface displays a number of
advanced network management features including:
Filter Scheduling
– These filters can be scheduled to be active on
certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
Parental Controls
– Easily applied content filtering based on MAC
Address, and/or URL.
Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions
– The VW300 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP
sessions, so users behind the VW300 can surely
access corporate network.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard
specification. Actual data throughput will vary. CDMA Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of
network traffic, building materials and construction, and network
overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

WirelessInstallationConsiderations
The VW300 wireless router let your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF noise in your home or business.
1. Router should be placed at the position with good CDMA signal.
2. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VW300 and other network devices to a minimum-each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adaptor’s range from 1~30 meters. Position your devices so that the number of
walls or ceilings is minimized.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks),
mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X – 10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home
security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your
2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if
the phone is not in use
