the Internet: AP client router and AP router. In AP client router mode, it can access the Internet
wirelessly by your WISP’s support. In AP router mode, it can access the Internet via ADSL/Cable
Modem.
In the most attentive wireless security, the TL-WR543G 54M Wireless AP Client Router provides
multiple protection measures. In AP router mode, it can be set to turn off wireless network name
(SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the SSID can be connected. The router provides
wireless LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption security, and WPA/WPA2 and
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption security. It also supports
VPN pass-through for sensitive data secure transmission.
The TL-WR543G 54M Wireless AP Client Router complies with the IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b
standards so that the data transmission rate is up to 54Mbps. It adopts 2x to 3x eXtended Range
™
WLAN transmission technology so that the transmission distance is 2-3 times of traditional IEEE
802.11g and IEEE 802.11b solutions, up to a distance of 855.36m tested in China. The transmission
range is extended to 4-9 times. It is compatible with all IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.
The TL-WR543G 54M Wireless AP Client Router provides flexible access control in AP router mode
