Built-in DHCP Server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
on-board makes for the
easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP
addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a
complicated networking setup.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of Media Access Control (MAC)
addresses (unique client identifiers) that are allowed access to your
wireless network. Every computer equipped with a wireless network
adapter has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into
a list using the web-based user interface and you can control access to
your network.
Applications and Advantages
Wireless roaming with a laptop around the home or office
Offers the freedom of networking—without cables.
Difficult-to-wire environments
Enables networking in buildings with solid or finished walls, or open
areas where wiring is difficult to install.
Frequently changing environments
Adapts easily in offices or environments that frequently rearrange or
change locations.
Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time
Sets up temporary networks such as at trade shows, exhibitions and
constructions sites, which need networks on a short-term basis—Also
companies who need additional workstations for a peak activity period.
SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networking needs
Provides the easy and quick small network installation SOHO users need.
