Support for both NetBIOS broadcast and WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) allows the WG602v3 to easily fit into your existing Windows network. Key Features The WG602v3 provides solid functionality, including these features: • Multiple Operating Modes - Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/g wireless access point. - Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WG602v3 only communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. - Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WG602v3 acts as the "master" for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations send all traffic to this "master", and do not communicate directly with each other. - Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the WG602v3 operates as both a wireless access point and a wireless bridge. - Client Mode. In this mode, the WG602v3 operates as a client bridge only, and sends all traffic to the remote wireless access point or peer device. • Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily, using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. • Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the WG602v3 to gain access to your LAN. • Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Timedependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM. (Not available in Client Mode.) • Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED Indicators. Power, wired and wireless activity are easily identified. • Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they are easy to change. 1-2 Introduction v1.0, August 2006
