Description of Hardware
The Wireless Barricade Plus can be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your
PC or to a local area network using any of the three Fast Ethernet
LAN ports or
through the wireless interface.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640
Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5
Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can
provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. However,
you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service
providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem
type connected to your Wireless Barricade Plus, data passing between
devices connected to your local area network can run up to
100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Wireless Barricade Plus includes an LED display on the front
panel for system power and port indications that simplifies
installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides three RJ-45
LAN ports, one RJ-45 WAN port, as well as two detachable antennas
on the rear panel.
