MODEL- WET54G VENDOR- LINKSYS FEATURES- Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Connect any Ethernet-equipped device to a high-speed Wireless-G Network. The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network. At home, use the Bridge to connect game consoles, set-top boxes, or computers to your Wireless-G network and its shared high-speed Internet connection. In the office, convert your Ethernet-wired printer, scanner, camera, notebook or desktop into a wireless networked device. It s completely driver-free, so it works on any platform and under any operating system! Since there s no drivers to load, setup is a snap -- configure the network settings through your PC s web browser, then plug it into your device and go. And physical installation is simplified by support for Power Over Ethernet. With an optional POE Adapter, you can mount the Bridge wherever you want -- power and data are both supplied through the Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can also use the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge as a kind of cable- less cable to connect remote areas together. Maybe Shipping is all the way across the warehouse from Receiving. Or maybe you want to set up a home office in your detached garage. With a Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge in the garage, and another one (or a Wireless-G Access Point) in the house, you re connected -- no digging trenches, and no overhead wires. Includes Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge, Setup CD-ROM with User Guide, Quick Installation guide, External Antenna, RJ-45 Network cable, Power Adapter, Registration card. Converts wired-Ethernet devices to Wireless-G (draft 802. 11g) network connectivity. Operates in the 2. 4GHz frequency spectrum with throughput of up to 54Mbps. Complies with IEEE draft 802. 11g standard, and backwards compatible with IEEE 802. 11b products. Works without drivers on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Playstation 2, Xbox, or proprietary devices - anything with an Ethernet port. Installs in minutes with easy-to-use Setup Wizard. Built-in web user interface for easy configuration from any web browser. -- SPECIFICATIONs ---------------------------------STANDARDS - Draft 802. 11g, 802. 11b, IEEE 802. 3, IEEE 802. 3uCONNECTORs - (1) 10BaseT/100BaseTX portBUTTONs - MDI/MDI-X slide switch, Reset buttonCABLE TYPE - Category 5 or better TRANSMIT POWER- 18 dBm (typical) 11Mbps CCK 15 dBm (typical) 54MBps OFDMINDICATORs - LEDs for Power, Ethernet, WirelessSECURITY - 64 & 128-bit WEP encryptionMODULATION - 802. 11b: CCK (11 Mbps, 5. 5 Mbps) DQPSK (2 Mbps) DBPSK (1 Mbps) 802. 11g: OFDM (54 Mbps)REQUIRES - Internet Explorer 4. 0 or Netscape Navigator 4. 0 or Higher.
