Shared Internet Access for Wireless and Wired Users
The 3Com® ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router combines an ADSL2/2+ modem, router, 802.11g wireless access point, four-port switch, and firewall to enable up to 253 total (64 wireless) users to economically and securely share a single ADSL or ADSL2/2+ connection. The high-speed routing engine easily handles large data transfers and Internet downloads, including those from multimedia applications.
The 11g ADSL router provides a high-speed, 54 Mbps wireless connection for users with 802.11g-equipped PCs and laptops. It is also backward-compatible with 802.11b wireless LAN equipment, preserving existing network investments. This Wi-Fi certified router also features support of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS simplifies setup of an extended or completely wireless network (requires access points that support WDS).
Advanced wireless security and multiple firewall features offer one of the industry's strongest levels of protection for the network. To shield wireless connections, the 11g gateway router implements 256-bit WPA encryption for maximum security, along with 40/64- & 128-bit WEP encryption for legacy clients. Stateful packet inspection firewall, hacker pattern detection, URL filtering, and other security features help protect the entire network from attacks and other Internet security risks.
