Product Overview 
Standards-Based Technology 
The BiPAC 7300GX Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11g  standard. The IEEE 802.11g 
standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the data rate up to 54Mbps* 
within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, 
within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or 
even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This 
technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM 
(Orthogonal  Frequency  Division  Multiplexing) technology. OFDM  works by splitting the 
radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at 
different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) 
in signal transmissions.   
 
The BiPAC 7300GX is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you 
have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with 
802.11g devices at speeds of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range. 
 
Installation Considerations
 
The BiPAC 7300GX Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless 
connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that 
the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless 
signals must pass 
 
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the BiPAC 7300GX and other network 
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 7300GX wireless 
product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) 
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. Be aware of the 
direct line between network devices.  Position the devices so that the signal will travel 
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. Building 
Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have 
a negative effect on range.   
Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal 
passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. Keep your product away
