SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
1-2 SECTION 1, OVERVIEW
Your wireless router is really several products built into one unit:
! Wireless Access Point
! 4-port Full Duplex 10/100 Ethernet Switch and Router
! Firewall and NAT protection
Wireless Access Point
Connects your router to your laptop wirelessly and allows you to
roam unfettered. Using the 802.11g and 802.11b standards
ensures compliance now and into the future. WPA ensures that
your laptop communicates with your router without fear of
hackers listening in.
4-port Full Duplex 10/100 Ethernet Switch and Router
Enables connection of up to 4 PCs directly, or using optional
Motorola Home Networking Wireless products extends your
network. The routing function enables each of your networked
PCs to share a broadband Internet (cable, DSL, or other)
connection.
Firewall and NAT Protection
Protection against Internet intruders is crucial. Of course, the
product also supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections
through the firewall, allowing you the freedom to connect when
you need it.
Also supported are the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and MAC
address filtering protocols, giving you the choice to share your
Internet connection with only those whom you designate.
Your Motorola Wireless Broadband Router WR850G protects and
connects you by sharing your files, Internet connection, printers and
multi-player games, all in one great unit.
