The blue G-1000 LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the G-1000 is on and 
blinks (or breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use 
the web configurator to turn this LED off even when the G-1000 is on and data is being 
transmitted/received.

The G-1000 has a built-in RADIUS server that can authenticate wireless clients or other AP’s 
in other wireless networks.The G-1000 can also function as an AP and as a RADIUS server at 
the same time.

The G-1000 supports WPA and WPA2. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the 
IEEE 802.11i security specification draft. WPA supports user authentication, and it provides 
better data encryption than WEP. WPA2 is similar to WPA but provides even stronger data 
encryption than WPA.

The G-1000 complies with the 802.11b wireless standard.

The 802.11b data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are shown in the table below. 
The modulation technique defines how bits are encoded onto radio waves.
