1.1 Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the NetComm NB620W Super-G Wireless Gateway. The NB620W
is a state-of-the-art Wireless Gateway with the latest in advanced broadband wireless connec-
tivity. Now it's simple and cost-effective to build a local network with Internet access using
wired or wireless technology.
The NB620W features the latest 802.11g wireless standard for high speed transfer rates up to
54Mbps, as well as a Atheros' Super G mode to turbocharge your transfer rates. The NB620W
is backwards compatible with 11Mbps, 802.11b wireless networks and carries a built-in 4 port
10/100 Base-TX Ethernet Switch.
The NB620W introduces three levels of security to keep those intruders and hackers out of
your wired or wireless network. The combination of NAT and SPI/DOS (Stateful Packet
Inspection/Denial of Service) firewall technology, the latest WEP (Wireless Encryption
Protocols) and WPA (WiFi Protection Access – PSK and Radius) ensures the safety of your
network PCs and their data.
Working with any Operating System that supports TCP/IP, including Windows, Apple
Macintosh and Linux, the NB620W Web-based user interface facilitates easy set up and
ongoing administration.
The NB620W also features two USB 2.0 ports for Disk and Print Serving. Simply connect a
supported USB 1.1 or 2.0 printer to the built-in USB host and all authorised users can use this
printer, via both the LAN and wireless LAN. You can also connect any USB hard or Flash
drive to the other USB port to make the data available to authorised users on the local LAN as
well as wireless users.
