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
