| SMC Networks Ships Its New 802.11n Products SMC Networks announces that its newest solutions for efficient wireless home networking, the SMC Barricade N Draft 11n Wireless 4-Port Broadband Router (SMCWBR14S-N2) and the EZ Connect N Draft 11n Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter (SMCWUSBS-N), are available now to bring speed and range with the latest standards-based Draft 11n wireless technology. The Barricade N Draft 11n Broadband Router (SMCWBR14S-N2) and the EZ Connect N Draft 11n Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter (SMCWUSBS-N) comprise a perfect networking solution for sharing files and high-speed cable/xDSL Internet connections at home. Wi-Fi certified for full compliance with the 802.11n draft v2.0 standard, as well as the popular Wireless-G (802.11g) and Wireless-B (802.11b) standards, these new products enable efficient, next-generation connections utilizing advanced MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology to deliver incredible speed and range. With wireless speeds up to 300Mbps and up to 4 times the coverage, the SMCWBR14S-N2 and SMCWUSBS-N provide a better performing wireless network than existing 802.11g technology. Upgrading to SMC's Wireless-N is a suitable solution for sharing Internet connections and files-video, audio, documents and data-without wires. And, 802.11n wireless networking technology makes those connections faster and more reliable across longer distances, with fewer dead spots, so users get coverage they can count on. Designed with the ease of use and functionality that make it suitable for the home network, the multi-function router combines a 4-port 10/100 LAN switch, high-speed Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) access point, protection from intrusion via a NAT firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and user friendly Web-based management interface in one convenient device. For security, the SMCWBR14S-N2 supports the latest WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption standards, which prevent unauthorized access to wireless networks to keep data secure. Wireless security can also be set up easily using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which enables push button or PIN configuration. Access Control allows parents to block certain Websites, limit Web access by time, day or dates, and/or to block Internet access for certain applications, like P2P utilities or games. And, of great importance to home users, configuration of the Internet connection and advanced router functions is made simple and straightforward with the EZ Installation Wizard and intuitive Web-based management interface. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
