NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 Reference Manual • Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily, using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. In addition to using Web browser to do so, command-line interface and SNMP can also be used. • Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the WN604 to gain access to your LAN. • Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored. • Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED Indicators. Power, WPS, Wireless Activity, LAN speed, and LAN activity are easily identified. • 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. • WMM Power Save Support. Power Save uses mechanisms from 802.11e and legacy 802.11 to save power (for battery powered equipment) and fine-tune power consumption. 802.11b/g/n Standards-based Wireless Networking The NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11b/g/n compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. Additionally, the WN604 supports the following wireless features: • Aggregation Support • Reduced Inter Frame Spacing support • Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) support • Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, Back off procedure, ACK procedure, retransmission of unacknowledged frames) • RTS/CTS handshake • Beacon generation • Packet fragmentation and reassembly • Auto or long preamble • Roaming among access points on the same subnet Introduction 1-3 v1.0, March 2010
