Introduction
The SpeedTouch™ 608 WL/620Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless
access point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network
over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward
compatible with IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can
coexist in the same wireless network.
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend
the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to
introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network.
To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter
(WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.

Wireless client
requirements
All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b, will be able to
communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™
(W)LAN environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless
clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the
SpeedTouch™.
It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™ certified
to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.
