NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 Reference Manual Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter describes some of the key features of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2. It also includes the minimum prerequisites for installation ("System Requirements" on page 1-3.), package contents ("What is in the Box" on page 1-3), and a description of the front and back panels of the WN802T v2 ("Front Panel of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point" on page 1-3). About the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 The NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 is the basic building block of a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. The WN802T v2 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage-interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area of about 600 feet radius. Consequently, the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points can handle up to 32 users simultaneously. The NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple WN802T v2s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network. The auto-rate capability of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 allows packet transmission at up to 300 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for distance or electromagnetic interference. Key Features The NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point is easy to use and provides the following features: Introduction 1-1 v1.0, September 2008
