Manufacturer's product description
The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Gateway is a high-speed, affordable, and easy-to-use small office solution that lets wireless and wired PCs and laptops securely share a single broadband Internet connection. With 802.11g support, wireless LAN users can connect at speeds up to 54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) - almost five times the speed of existing 802.11b wireless products. And the 3Com 11g Gateway is backward compatible with 802.11b wireless clients, preserving existing wireless network investments. Supporting up to 253 (128 wireless) users, the 11g Gateway is designed for small but growing offices, branch offices, and home offices. And because it is Wi-Fi certified, the gateway works with other Wi-Fi compatible equipment. The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Gateway includes many of the IP routing and firewall privacy features of a full-scale router or firewall, at a fraction of the price. Among the multiple robust security features are advanced stateful packet inspection firewall, hacker pattern detection and URL or keyword filtering. 256-bit WPA and 40/64-bit WEP encryption protect the privacy of 11g and 11b wireless transmissions. An intuitive web interface and simple setup wizards simplify setup and use. The award-winning OfficeConnect family provides a broad range of small-office products, including LAN switches and hubs, access points, gateway routers, firewalls, PC cards and network adapters. With the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g PC Card, notebook users can access network resources, the Internet, and e-mail at speeds up to 54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). That's almost five times the speed of existing 802.11b wireless products, which makes this product ideal for small offices that work with demanding audio, video, and multimedia applications. The 11g PC card works with the 3Com Wireless 11g Access Point to create a powerful, high-speed all-wireless network in minutes. The 11g products are compatible with 11b products, so both 11b and 11g clients can reside on the same network. This flexibility preserves your network investment and allows you to upgrade or scale your network according to your budget and time frame. Setup and operation are extraordinarily easy, making these products great choices for first-time wireless users. Like all award-winning OfficeConnect products, the 11g PC card delivers reliability features such as dynamic rate shifting, which automatically matches the best connection speed to room conditions so connections stay clear and open. The PC card also employs advanced 256-bit WPA (Wireless Protected Access) encryption as well as 40/64- and 128-bit shared-key WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) encryption to help protect data on the wireless LAN. And because it is Wi-Fi certified, the PC card should work seamlessly with Wi-Fi certified products from other vendors. Consistently recognized as the #1 computer networking brand for small offices, the 3Com OfficeConnect family offers a broad range of products, including access points, LAN switches and hubs, gateway routers and firewalls, and PC Cards and network adapters.
