Overview
Thank you for using Gigabyte GN-AP02G Wireless-G Access Point. The IEEE
802.11g standard is designed as a higher-bandwidth - 54M bit/sec - successor
to the popular 802.11b, or Wi-Fi standard, which tops out at 11M bit/sec. An
802.11g access point will support 802.11b and 802.11g clients.
The GN-AP02G Wireless-G Access Point lets you connect IEEE 802.11g or
IEEE802.11b devices to the network. With its high-speed data
transmissions of up to 54 Mbps, you complete a lot of work in a short amount
of time. Network users can share a broadband Internet connection, access
e-mail, download large files, videoconference, and distribute and play digital
images, videos, and MP3 files.
And with up to 152-bit WEP encryption, you can feel relieved that your wireless
network communications are private. Easy to set up and use, the GN-AP02G
provide you an AP Manager Configuration utility.
