ProSAFE Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
Overview of the Wireless Features
The wireless VPN firewall integrates a single 2.4 GHz radio and physical access point that
provides 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and
radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other
devices. You can configure up to four wireless security profiles and SSIDs, allowing you to
tailor access and security to a variety of wireless clients.

tailor access and security to a variety of wireless clients.
The wireless VPN firewall provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices
within a fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card
(NIC) through an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building wireless access point provides a
maximum connectivity area of about a 300-foot radius. The wireless VPN firewall can support
a small group of wireless users—typically 10 to 32 users.
