7.2 Environmental Resistance
The WLM2-G54 AP’s high durability design
allows resistance to environmental conditions
like temperature changes. Since it is less
susceptible to environmental change, it is
suitable for warehouses, public areas and
other locations where temperature control is
not available. Optional dust-proof and
waterproof casings are available.
7.3 Upgradeable Firmware
With Buffalo’s firmware upgrade utility tool,
updating the firmware will be simple.
7.4 Diagnostic Support
The WLM2-G54 provides tools to monitor
and methods to correct its wireless
operations. Some of these tools are device
status, packet status, wireless PC information,
ping test, log information and re-initialization
of parameters.
