Overview
Thank you for purchasing the R100 Wireless Gateway. The R100
complies with IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b standards. The 802.11g is
an extension to 802.11b (used in the majority of wireless LANs today)
that broadens 802.11b’s data rates to 54 Mbps within the 2.4 GHz
band using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)
technology. The 802.11g allows backward compatibility with 802.11b
devices but only at 11 Mbps or lower, depending on the range and
presence of obstructions. Wireless LANs are complementary
extensions to existing wired LANs, offering complete mobility while
maintaining continuous network connectivity to both corporate and
home Intranets. They add a new level of convenience for LAN users,
as PC’s stay connected to the network anywhere throughout a building
without being bound by wires. This is accomplished through the use
of the Access Point functionality of the Wireless Gateway. The built-
in Internet gateway capability allows your family to share a broadband
Modem and one ISP account simultaneously from different rooms
without wires!
