Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster. This Access
Point will allow you to network wirelessly better than ever.
Point will allow you to network wirelessly better than ever.
How does the Access Point do all of this? An access point allows for greater range and mobility within your
wireless network while also allowing you to connect the wireless network to a wired environment. In fact, the
Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster can support communications on up to four
wireless networks, using Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology.

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster also offers the convenience of Power
over Ethernet (PoE) capability, so it can receive data and power over a single Ethernet network cable. You can
even connect wired networks in two different buildings, by using two Access Points set to Wireless Bridge mode.

But what does all of this mean?
Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from different computers
and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video
games. So, networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun.

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is
why the network is called “wired”.
why the network is called “wired”.
PCs equipped with wireless client cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing
the same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network. This is sometimes
called a WLAN, or Wireless Local Area Network. The Access Point bridges wireless networks of both 802.11g and
802.11b standards and wired networks.
