• an Ethernet to Wireless Bridge, providing a wireless connection
via an RJ-45 connection to devices such as Microsoft Xbox and
Ethernet ready embedded devices.

• a wireless range extender, allowing you to effectively extend the
coverage of another SMC2671W that is configured to operate in
Access Point mode.
