Introduction
The SpeedTouch™ Wi-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.
